I'm not a member of the Picture Perfect group, but I like the challenge they've put out this time - quotations. I've chosen the one below, which is actually the first stanza of a Christmas carol, "In the Bleak Midwinter", by Christina Rosetti. I've posted the song after the pictures - that's one of the perks of NOT being in the group: you can add your own twist to it!
I took these pictures last winter! And I'm eagerly anticipating winter again this year, despite the horrendous five days we had with that storm! I know...I'm the weirdest West Indian, eh? LOL!
In the bleak midwinter,
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone.
Snow had fallen,
Snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter,
Long ago.
I could have chosen the video of the Kings College Choir of Cambridge, which you can see if you go here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0aL9rKJPr4 - but I chose this one because it was a service in which the congregation also sang. I love that!
And yes, Christmas time is my favorite time of year!
Enjoy!

I love to hear men's choirs...and the contrasts between the men's and the boys' voices! So delicious!
It's one of my favourites - but NOT in September lol...
Good grief, have they started the Santa Season already in the US?
No, silly! But when I decided to use these pictures, that stanza was what came to my mind, so I went with it! Especially after the muggy day we had...I am looking forward to a "bleak mid-winter"! *chuckles*
