“Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in [Idaho] won’t make it ‘white’.” ~ Bing Crosby What is it that gets you into the Christmas spirit?

“Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful. Since we’ve no place to go…Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.”~ Cahn and Styne Snow is a blessing to our valley.
