Michael Storring’s 12 Days of Christmas, day 5

This one almost looks like a collage of images with the bridge and the buildings on the top and bottom. There’s then the hill in the middle and the ground of people watching and/or waiting for their turn, though not many of them look to have sleds. Perhaps everyone’s sharing. Sledding around where I live isn’t really a Christmas activity. We don’t get enough snow before the new year to make it possible. In fact, we just got done with about a day of rain and then had a light dusting of snow. The snow didn’t even stick. Come January and February, we’ll have snow and annoying freezing cold. Then the kids will get out on the one big hill in town and have some sledding fun. I think I went down it once or twice as a kid, but it gets so crowded and it’s fairly steep. I remember hitting a bump on the way down and going flying and veering off to the side. I wound up on my side and decided I was done with sledding.
