Vacation Montana!
~ Montana Lodging At
Its BEST ~
* *A Montana Christmas* *
Imagine
that you and your family have just arrived outside
your Christmas holiday home.
Snowflakes dance around your
car during a light snowfall. Shaggy
carpets of snow surround
your home. Your children, excited by
the sights, ask to be let
out of the car to play in the freshly
fallen snow. You oblige
them, and you and your wife step out
of the car to get a look
at where you will be staying over
Christmas. You have only
just arrived but the two of you
immediately know you are in
the right place. Your children are
happy, and as you view your
surroundings you, too, are feeling
happy inside and enchanted
by the sparkling winter scene. Like a
cold drink, you feel what
you are breathing as your lungs become
filled with the brash,
clean air. Snow hangs from the trees
like torn white sheets and
piles on the roof like a thick white
comforter. The mountains
towering nearby are dressed in
enormous silky white gowns
and one of your children shrieks with
delight as she spies a
line of deer walking across the
snow-covered lake. And your
family hasn't even walked in the house
yet! So, yeah, you and
your wife agree that this is good.
Approaching
your holiday home, you are not quite sure what
to make of things. Are you hearing
things or what? There is a
slight melody in the air, which is
unexpected and you think
perhaps the car radio is still ringing
in your ears. But the
melody gets louder as you get closer
to your home and it is
becoming increasingly difficult to
deny that something
interesting is going on. As you open
the door to your holiday
home, you realize that your home is
saying hello to you first by
singing you Christmas
carols from your living room stereo.
Nice touch, you think. And your nose
is aroused by a distinct
scent of pine. Not from a spray can or
floor wash but clean,
pure, and fresh like the real thing.
Exploring your home, you
and your family walk into your living
room to discover a tall,
robust, freshly cut Christmas tree awaiting your
arrival. There
it stands, grand and proud, against a
view of snowcast
trees and snowy mountains. Moved by
this swirl of sights,
sounds, and scents, your hearts expand
as you all suddenly
realize that this IS the real thing.
It surely is. Your a family
together at Christmas, and you feel
it!
Welcome to
Christmas in Montana
May your spirits
soar this holiday season

* *One Morning* *
One snowy morning I arose
To find a Christmas Village
All decked out in Christmas clothes
So dramatically changed from the night before
I marveled at this work of love
By so many special people
Possessed of the Christmas Spirit
Back to Montana
