Mountaintop Christmas Tree

"The holiest of all holidays are those kept by ourselves
in silence and apart; the secret anniversaries of the heart." 

-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

A Christmas tree burns brightly on a moonlit
mountain top, bringing cheer to all below.

The people who live on the other side of the mountain from us always have a beautiful Christmas tree lit up for the season. It stands as a bright beacon all across the valley and we are lucky enough to be able to see it from our bedroom window. I look forward to it each and every year.

Conifer Christmas Parade 2011

"At Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year." 
-- Thomas Tusser

 

Horses are always an important part of the Conifer Christmas Parade.

The annual Conifer Christmas Parade is one of the highlights of the year and last Saturday's event was no exception. Despite the 10-degree temperature and light snow, it seemed as though the entire town turned out to witness the spectacle. 

View a slide show of this year's highlights!
