"Gee, whiz..."

The Doctor looked at me curiously. "What's the matter?"

"I think I finally get what Dean Martin was singing about," I said with a grin.

"I don't follow you," he responded, shaking his head. "What exactly do you mean when you say that?"

Taking a look around, I swept my arms out. "Just have a look for yourself."

Snow lay everywhere around us, crunching beneath our feet as we walked. Above was a bright blue sky. It looked just like a beautiful Christmas card. Or like some sugary confection.

"Ol' Dino was right," I happily insisted. "It really is a marshmallow world."

It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's time for play
It's a whipped-cream day
I wait for it the whole year 'round
