For those dreaming of a White Christmas, Mother Nature did not disappoint this year.
Trudged thru drifts in frigid Christmas Eve temps & attended my first candlelight service in 3 years. Never been to Mile Hi Church on Colorado Christian University campus.
GREAT program, GREAT music, inclusive congregation. Reason for the season ✝
During this holiday, reach out & reconnect with family. It’s not always easy.
I sincerely believe we are part of a bigger plan. Focus on this day, tomorrow, the day following tomorrow — leave yesterday in the past. Don’t just give, for-give.
Merry Christmas & God Bless.

O Holy Night (audio only)
The winter solstice, also known as midwinter, is an astronomical phenomenon marking the day with the shortest period of daylight and the longest night of the year.
Also called: Midwinter, Yule, the Longest Night, Jól
Solstice, beginning of my favourite season!
Week of Christmas movies, Dave’s Big Disney Reveal, then SNOW – wouldn’t be winter without the magic of snow ❄️
Last work week of 2017 (crazy busy time) so been fitting in my fave Christmas Classics whenever/wherever I can this year. Southwest flight from Phoenix, Netflix at dinner, in bed on my laptop, family nite at Ash’s – even once on the treadmill: literally watched “White Christmas” on my Thursday morning run. Work/life/Christmas Classics balance. LOL>

Thursday Dec 21st – Christmas wreath from Sis. Perfect timing! Arrived hours before the onslaught of Colorado’s White Christmas. LOVE the gift, LOVE my Sis. Snow today/Friday then the DEEP FREEZE from Canada. Single digit highs, sub-zero lows next 10 days. Yikes! May/may not be snow-hiking high above Colorado Springs Christmas week. Details later 🙂

Best kind of repeats – PARADE repeats during the holidays. Been 5 years. How is that possible?
Everything Downtown decked in holiday colour, queued early for our town’s Lights parade at 7pm. Fire Department always leads the annual array of floats. Baton twirlers, carolers, Santa, Frosty & Native Americans too. Not to mention ‘Bones’, the town’s Christmas dinosaur. Every town has a Christmas dinosaur, right? LOL>
GREAT way to kick off the Christmas season! LOVE LOVE my Colorado hometown 🙂
