It turned out to be a white Christmas here and the winter storm moved in at a good time giving people enough notice and time to go where they wanted to go.

Watching the snow fall from a warm home with wonderful aromas coming from the kitchen and the voices and laughter of family make for a memorable time.

Waking to snowfall and a beautiful blanket of fluffy white covering the landscape is a treat especially when there is not a need to travel in these conditions. This makes for a good setting for reflecting on the holiday.
I am deeply grateful for the beauty of this season and the love of family and friends.

This image was captured as I gazed out the window. The beauty of the fragile snow on the branches of our aspen tree caught my eye. How fragile and pretty.
