Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays from my family to yours!

I am enjoying the wonderful temperate weather in Arizona.  I have been able to wear short sleeves most days in December.  The weather in the winter cannot be beat here!  I am looking forward to January and February when I can wear jackets in the middle of the day and bring out some heavier clothes!  The mountaintops in Phoenix sometimes will have a dusting of snow.  I need to get some pictures to show everyone that reads this.  It hasn't snowed on them yet, but I will hopefully be able to capture some pictures soon!

If I want snow I just visit the northern part of the state.  I really want to go back to the Grand Canyon this winter.  I love to see snowfall on mountaintops and pine trees.  I think this looks like heaven!

I remember the last time I was at the Grand Canyon.  The memory of the massive and beautiful canyon is amazing!  It had several wondrous colors of purples, pinks and oranges.    I have not been to Sedona to see the holiday lights called Fantasy of Lights and I don't think that I am going to be able to make that this year, but I will be going to Glendale Glitters.  They have over 1.5 million lights.  It is always a wonderful display and then they have several performances and wonderful vendors...wineries, hot chocolate, caramel apples....  They even have horse drawn carriage rides...very romantic!

As you can tell, I am very excited about the holiday season!!!  I hope yours is joyous.  Always remember that this is the time of the year for telling those in your life that you care about them.  This is also the time to spend with loved ones.
