Today is Christmas Day, a time to get together with friends and family, enjoy each other's company, and be grateful for what we have. Here in Colorado, a lot of families and friends like to spend the day outside, skiing, ice skating, taking a brisk walk through the snow, or just enjoying the winter scenery. Unfortunately, this year, it was 71 degrees on Christmas Eve, a record high, and Christmas Day is expected to set a record high, too. It very seldom snows on Christmas in Denver, but it is usually a bit more winter-like, and the mountains are routinely covered in snow. But not this year. The best we can hope is that the snow will eventually come, as it did last January, when I took the photograph above at Chautauqua Park up in Boulder, and which I used for the front of my Christmas cards this year. I myself am not crazy about winter weather, but that snow is what fills up the rivers and reservoirs that provide drinking water and prevents droughts. And so, everybody better just cross their fingers and hope for a change in the weather pattern. In any case, however you spend it, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
