Baby, it’s cold outside

And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap,

Last night as my husband and I “settled our brains” for a very short night of sleep, I was wishing we were settling in for a long winter’s nap. I was reminded of this line from The Night Before Christmas
because Jason wore his winter hat to bed last night. Why was this necessary? Because it’s freezing cold!

I’m not used to temperatures in the negative numbers. I’ve lived here for a couple of years, but this is much colder than the last couple of winters. Cold enough that there is ice inside our kitchen windows. Brrr.

Frozen Window

But at least the view outside our windows is beautiful!

As a side note….Somehow I don’t remember the word “brains” in the poem. I always thought it just said “settled down”.
