Jingle Bells, Jingle All The Way

There are several advantages to living in a small town. One of which are some of the "Norman Rockwellish" scenes of daily life. Now, add to the small town, our heavy Amish population and the storybook pictures come to life. On Tuesday night we had about 6 inches of snow fall, and as a result there was a 2 hour school delay on Wednesday morning. While Zach and I were out at the end of the driveway waiting for the bus, Zach had a ball throwing himself into the snow face first and making snow angels on his belly (don't worry, he was wearing all his snow gear). All of a sudden, I saw something that I thought he just had to see so I called him to my side. Right then, in front of the drive way came a horse, pulling not the usual buggy, but a sleigh with an Amish lady driving. "Look, Zach, it's a "One horse open sleigh!" All she was missing were the sleigh bells.
