White Christmas at the Cabin December 25, 2010 It snowed at the cabin on Christmas Day last year, making it one of the sweetest in my memory. It ranks right up there with Christmases from my childhood, back when a year seemed like an eternity and December 25th truly was the best day of the year. Back then we didn't get toys except on Christmas, and our "new" clothes came in a giant cardboard box from my Great Aunt Minnie. We didn't mind though because even as hand-me-downs, they were nicer than anything we could have afforded.
