FIRST SNOWFALL

It was November 20 last week when South Korea, particularly Seoul, had their first snow.
Some of them celebrated the first snowfall during the evening.
Some got messages of love through email and sms.
Some received phone calls from their loved ones.
But some just didn't care.
They just let it pass by and ignore and keep their nose on their very hectic work.
It is winter indeed!
So, what I say to my students most of the time is, be careful, be ready with your winter clothes or just stay home if you don't need to go somewhere because you might just catch a cold.
The first snowfall of the winter is a much-anticipated event around our house. It holds a magic all its own. The common reaction to snow for many parents is dread. What will we do stuck inside with the kids? But if you look at snow through the eyes of your child, you will see a winter wonderland. The first snowfall, or anytime we get snowed in, is time for us to stop what we're doing and enjoy this seasonal delight.
When was the last time you laid in the snow and made snow angels? Have you ever shown your little ones how to do it? Its great fun to lie in the snow and listen to it crunch as you wave your arms and legs back and forth. Sure, you get all wet, but that's when you can come inside, put on something cozy, throw the wet clothes in the dryer, and enjoy hot chocolate in front of a nice warm fireplace.
Each season of the year comes with its own reasons to celebrate. This winter season try to enjoy the quiet time with your child as you explore the winter wonderland in your back yard.
I just wonder how it feels playing snowfight or making snow angels, because there is no winter in the Philippines, so we won't experience these kinds of things.
Lucky you...
