The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I flew home via London, England yesterday, on Christmas Eve.
The flight was packed with kids.
As we left London, some of them (stationed all over the plane) sang ‘Rain, rain, go away.’
On repeat.
For at least a half hour.
(I fell asleep after that.)
When we approached Toronto, we saw that the city was blanketed with a layer of fresh white snow.
One child whispered with wonder, “Snow.”
“Snow, mommy, snow.” This was said louder by another child.
Soon, it became a chant by kids seated all over the plane. I couldn’t understand some of the languages spoken but I KNEW what they were repeating.
Snow.
Snow.
Snow.
A child started singing the ‘Do you want to build a snowman’ song and other kids quickly joined in.
It was magical.
(smiles)
Truly magical as this snow had arrived on Monday, the 23rd, and we’re expecting 3 mm of rain on Friday, the 27th.
