Christmas Eve
The expected blizzard hasn't hit yet, just like all the ones they've predicted previously. It's one of the things that irritates most of the locals. The weather people always make a big deal over what could happen, and then there's no bread, milk, or eggs in the grocery. The kids and parents get excited, then nothing happens. It's always been that way.
I'm still working on the taxes and waiting for Santa to make his appearance tonight. Cal walks in, and I can't help but notice the snow all over his body. He's stamping his feet against the floor.
"Is it snowing out there?" I ask.
"Yeah." He laughs. "Started about an hour ago, and it's coming down. I can't believe you didn't notice it."
"I've been working on taxes and last time I looked up, nothing had happened. I’d assumed it was something we were warned about that didn't happen. Guess I was wrong." I laugh.
