Here in Vancouver and the surrounding area, we don’t usually have snow at Christmas. We tend to have snow later in the winter, after the holidays. Nostalgic types may long for the white Christmases of their childhoods, trying out new sleds on Christmas Day, drinking hot chocolate after ice skating, etc. Romantic types may yearn for the snow globe worlds of Hallmark Channel movies, sharing sleigh rides with a loved one, or decorating gingerbread houses while snow softly falls outside the window…
Fear not! The library does carry Hallmark Christmas movies on DVD If you can’t get enough on TV to put you in the holiday spirit. If you’d rather read your winter romance, we’ve got you covered as well:
