‘Twas the weeks before Christmas . . .


December 6, 2015: Frisco, Colorado



‘Twas the weeks before Christmas,

When all through the house,

Not a creature was stirring, ‘cept the cat hunting a mouse.

 
When out of the window arose such a glow,

It was over Swan Mountain hanging so low.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

A beautiful sunrise – but not a single reindeer.
