I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas

in which I send a provoca­tive pic­ture to my friends in Mis­souri, and they respond with pho­tos of their own.

balcony_small.jpgPaula and I lived in Spring­field, MO for around five years, and so we were extreme­ly inter­est­ed to hear that they were hav­ing a snow­storm last week.

Paula got puck­ish and sug­gest­ed that I spread a lit­tle hol­i­day cheer, and so I sent my friends back in MO a pic­ture from our bal­cony along with this note:

I just saw a weath­er report for the Ozarks, and it filled me with such sor­row. How I miss the snow and ice!

Mer­ry Christ­mas,

Glen

What most sur­prised me was how many peo­ple respond­ed by send­ing back a dig­i­tal pho­to of their own. I’ve uploaded two of the best so you can con­trast them with my own provoca­tive shot.

I’d just like to wish all my friends in the state of Misery–I mean, Missouri–a very Mer­ry Christ­mas.

P.S. I’m wear­ing shorts and a trop­i­cal print shirt as I write this. I’d say I’m dream­ing of a white Christ­mas, but I don’t think a min­is­ter should tell white lies…
