Beautiful rain

You may think it odd for me to say that the best present I got for Christmas was rain, but you haven't been living in this drought.

At odd points during the day, I would look outside or hear the rain, and exclaim with delight, "It's raining!"
At one point I just knelt on the couch looking out the window at the rain coming down. Not that it was downpouring all the time -- there were even points in the day where it was sunny -- but it was just...
My brother-in-law was joking that "we should film this -- there are children in this country who have never seen rain!"

Though the actual raining started on Friday evening (I got soaked before the Company Christmas Do), it was still amazing because it hasn't been brief ephemeral showers, but actual ground-soaking rain. Thank the Lord. Halelujah!
