Yes, it's true, "Now, with More Merriment!"
2006 was a very nice year.
I won't get signficantly maudlin for another week or so, when I've downed my last New Year's champagne and eaten my last Giant Shrimp! or two.
But it was good. And this Christmas season was absolutely wonderful. Nice through and through, but the last week was amazing.
The Wintersmith delivered a tour-de-force blizzard to Golden with 3 feet of snow to start things off. No, not this blizzard, I mean This Blizzard!!!!
Days of building snowboard ramps in our front yard and shoveling with neighbors followed. Snow-chilled Beer with friends. Packs of semi-wild dogs and children running the cul-de-sac. No mail. No work. Lots of laughs.
Kathy was off from Wednesday morning, when they declared work closed, through today. And it was fabulous to have this week together for our family. We went to the mountains for a few days of riding, skiing, and enjoying a mountain holiday before arriving back home Christmas morning to find Santa had stopped by Golden whilst we were gone.
Dunno, just a great time all around. I got a buzz going last Tuesday just thinking about a few inches of snow coming our way, and then the blizzard hit and I've been riding a Holiday High for the past week.
Christmas 2006 with my family will be one to cherish and remember for a long time. And maybe, just maybe, I can keep this buzz going until next Christmas.
