Getting into the Holiday Spirit

Earlier this month, Colorado Fay Ranches broker Coble Thurman attended a holiday tradition in wintery Grand County.  Each December family members join together over a snowy weekend for the annual Tree Trimming Weekend.  Located off the beaten path, tucked away hidden in the massive pines quietly sits a private, historic ski lodge reminiscent of the early days of skiing.  Members enjoy ski in/ski out access, private room lodging along with wonderfully chef prepared meals served with festive cheer.  On one afternoon, the older members hike up the property to locate, cut & carry back the Christmas tree back into the cozy, vintage ski lodge.  This year's light snowfall made this a much easier task than in year's past as Colorado has yet to receive it's first big snow storm of the year.  

Upon colorfully decorating the tree, the anticipated sound of sleigh bells are heard by all excited children who have gathered around.  Then magically, from around the roaring fireplace Santa Clause cheerfully makes his grand entrance carrying a bag full of toys. "If this doesn't get you into the Holiday Spirit, nothing will!  It's one of those days of the year that you simply don't forget."  This year six month old Finley Thurman got to join in the fun observing the festivities with pure amazement, while older brother Blake patiently waited for his name to be called from the big man for one of the presents.  Additional winter activities enjoyed over the weekend include skiing, sledding and just relaxing with others.  These memorable moments in life that are created with family on such days are much appreciated.  Wishing you all a Very, Merry & Safe Christmas Season.
