It was a lazy Saturday day with nothing much to do but stay indoors and watch TV.  I lay sluggishly on the couch wearing my teddy bear pajamas and a pashmina shawl scarf thinking of Christmas gift ideas.  The sky was gray and the visibility outside was becoming zero as the clouds thickened.  All of a sudden a soft white cotton-like ball seemed to have fallen from the sky but disappeared in the cold mist.  Following it more and more of these cotton balls seemed to be showered from the sky till everything outside was covered with white feather like fluff.  My still heart started to throb with joy as I was witnessing my first snow fall ever.  It was the prettiest sight of my life as everything outside including house tops, bare tree branches, the sidewalks and all were filled with snowflakes.  Falling from the sky, the snowflakes lay thick and soft on the coats and hats of all the people outside.  Wrapped in warm shawls and scarves all walked hurriedly towards their destinations as the fast gathering snow filled the air.  Soon after it started to get dark and one could barely see through.

I wanted to freeze time and stop the darkness from blocking my view of the wonderful snow-land outside but could not control nature.  This would be one of the most remembered days of my life as I had just experienced my first ever snowfall, something I had always read in books and seen in movies.
