My White Christmas

I will have a white Christmas. It's nice to be able to say that with such certainty. I'm in Northern New Mexico this week, spending time with family and hitting the slopes. I have been skiing most of my life. The small ski town we are staying at is truly like a home away from home for my family.

It's only day three of six here, and I'm already sore from head to toe. We rode snow-mobiles yesterday, and hit the slopes for the first time today. I love spending Christmas here in the mountains, in this town namely. Every year on Christmas Eve there is a live nativity and sing-along, and the ski crew glides down the mountain in formation carrying road flares. On Christmas night is a luminary lit walk throughout the mountain woods. It's quite enchanting.

I never thought I would enjoy spending Christmas away from home, until I spent it here. Now, I LOVE getting away for Christmas. It's the most wonderful time of the year, and being here takes out a lot of the stress.

These are just a few of my pics from the trip so far. The bearded one is my husband. The two cute girls are my sisters. The other guy is my sister's boyfriend. It has been fun so far!

How are you spending the holidays?

Merry Christmas!
