Yesterday was the first day of fall but much of Saskatchewan had already received a heavy snowfall and Regina got a sleety-snowy rain that didn’t stick around but definitely felt more like winter than fall.
There were other signs that it felt more like winter than fall as well. When I turned on the “Flow” random music mix in my car right after taking the above picture, the first song it played was “The FIrst Noel” by Crash Test Dummies.
I have no idea how Deezer’s “Flow” algorithm works but suspect that, in part, it bases its playlists on what you’ve listened to a lot recently. So coming out of summer, I’ve been hearing a lot of Americana, bro-country, and campfire-type music. And usually, after December each year, it takes a few weeks to “cleanse the palate” and clear out the Christmas songs that have dominated my listening for the past month. So again, short of Deezer somehow incorporating a check of my local weather forecast, I have no idea how a Christmas song popped up out of the blue like that!
Then, when we got home, Sasha and I got it into our heads that if it was snowing, that was a good justification for making our Christmas lists. Hers was longer…
…but I think mine was more aspirational. 😉
