Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone! I had a really great Christmas...we didn't really

do a ton of gifts this year, just one nice one and some other fun stuff. We were

all very happy with that. :) My family has a tradition of going skiing or

snowshoeing on Christmas day, so we ended up skiing on untouched snow. It

was like flying. Please appreciate the first picture, as my left hand nearly froze

trying to get it...

Quote Of The Day:

"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind.

To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is

to have the real spirit of Christmas." ~ Calvin Coolidge

50 Word Story:

Sheer Joy

Christmas tree glittering in the living room beside filled stockings. The sweet

aroma of French toast emanating from the kitchen. Skis on, carving down the

hill in fresh powder, zipping on the wind. Dinner and excitement with extended

family. Home in bed, warm, settled. The idea Christmas. Family. Precious

memories.
