Hello, Central friends, and Happy Holidays! This entry will be a little different...tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I am checking in with my wishes to you all to have a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.
Rather than go on and on here, I'd like to share a piece running in our local paper today. It sums up my feelings about the holidays from the perspective of looking back over the decades and Christmases Past...(you may or may not know that I'm a writer and do a column for our the three newspapers serving the cities (towns) of southern Santa Clara Valley here in Northern California).
Although I truly miss my Colorado roots - the snow, the seasons, the beautiful mountains - it's lovely where I live, too, and I've always been of the belief that we make our own happiness and there is beauty in all of nature.
Therefore, if you are so inclined, here is the link to my Christmas column, which is meant to be a sort-of-Christmas card and will, I hope, bring back a few treasured memories of your Christmases Past.

Blessings to you at Christmas,

P.S. The top picture is a portion of our Christmas tree this year...you may notice in the lower portion a small photo of a young couple, which is actually an ornament made for me by a dear friend in San Francisco in 1974. It's a picture of my husband and I the year we were married and our first Christmas together. AND - the little munchkin below is a picture of me that my parents took for their Christmas card - circa 1948 or '49 at our home back in Pueblo. Like all of the photos on this blog, you can click on the photo to see it full size...
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!
