Gold on snow

Why, bless me! Is it snowing? How wonderful!

Yes, you're right - it doesn't seem to be falling on us, does it. I always find snow to be more beautiful when I'm not shivering with the cold, or having snowflakes fall down my neck.

No, I'm not entirely sure how I'm keeping us dry and warm. Do you think about how you walk, or do you simply put one foot in front of the other? Well, this is a little like that.

So, you are probably wondering who, in fact, I am - given that I'm not your Mister Claus.

It's an excellent question, and one to which I can only give a partial answer. In many ways, my existence is as mysterious as yours must be to you. Do you know why you come to be here, at this time?

There is one thing I can state with certainty, however. This season, the one you know as Christmas - well, this is my time.
