Dear North Carolina,

I wasn't sure if you knew but it's December 23rd.  If you're counting, that's two days until Christmas, but it seems like you aren't so I just wanted to remind you. 

Last year, you didn't have any problem keeping the date.  It was a very chilly, snugly, and snowy Christmas.  I thought some specifics might help you so look at the picture below.  Now, turn the sky from bright blue to grayish white.  Then turn the sunshine on our faces into snowflakes on our tongues. 

Don't worry about us, we'll make sure to put on long sleeves and coats as soon as you start living up to the season.  We've got our sweaters and mittens on hand so bring on the Winter Wonderland!! 

                                                                                                                         Sincerely,
                                                                                                                                   Les

Outside of Haps, a great hotdog place, enjoying my first day off for "Winter" Break.
