Yep, it’s cold outside
Sunday, December 26, 2004
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I have had very little sleep these past few days, and a whole lot of food.
One of the gifts that I got was a reindeer waterball/snow globe ornament. When I opened the box that it came in, though, and took out the ornament, everything was sopping wet. The glass from the waterball had cracked and there was this huge clump of ice that was melting.
What happened probably was the water inside the waterball froze, and since ice expands, it shattered the glass. The friend who gave it to me was from out of town, and it took several hours for her to drive to Toronto in below-zero weather. The glass must have broken then. This shows how cold it is right now.
There is a lovely picture of the ornament on the box, so I can always admire that.

So sorry to hear about your lovely ornament. I’ve been in the States only a year and this Christmas was only the first time i had ever seen snow and i made several snowballs, put them in a ziploc bag and have stored them in our freezer..silly and sentimental, yes.
