Let it Snow
Christmas Ornament Pattern

"Let it Snow!" remains a popular Christmas phrase, and not only due to the often-heard song that pops up this time of year.

In the U.S., at least in many areas, Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without snow. Hence another favorite song, "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas." And while many retirees flee to warmer climes, they often return to snow ridden areas to celebrate Christmas with family. The grand children love snow almost as much as Christmas itself!
