Christmas in the Mountains!
For me Christmas Eve 2008 will forever be remembered not for the tree, not for the party or the huge snow storm but for the amazing night sky. With candles placed in the cracks of the mountains the night sky was dark but the valley of the mountain was warm with candle light. As the candle glow faded we could see the stars dance across the night sky. When the first shooting star came out I made a wish.
Waking up Christmas morning in the mountains there was the pure beauty of nature. The sun slowly rose. The sky went from black, to dark blue to a deep shade of pink until the morning sunshine arrived on Christmas Day 2008! Merry Christmas!
