Christmas Eve is one week from today, and so it is time to head back to Denver from Stuart, Florida to experience the holidays. Not that I am complaining about the warm and sunny weather down here this time of year, but back in Denver we can experience the Christkindl market, Denver Zoo Lights, Blossom of Lights at the Denver Botanic Gardens, and all the other outdoor events that take place in the evening with those crisp, below freezing (and sometimes below zero) temperatures. Also, Call to Arms, the brewpub on Denver's Tennyson Street, will be closing for good after December 23rd, and this will be the last time (actually both the first and last time for me) to experience Big Holiday Energy, their famous annual Christmas celebration featuring over one million lights, or something like that. And best of all, the Christmas season lasts much longer in Denver than anywhere else. The National Western Stock Show takes place next month from January 10th through the 25th, and it is a tradition (and perhaps a city ordinance) to keep up your Christmas decorations until the show ends, including the famous light display at Denver's City and County Building, as seen in the photograph above. What could be better?
