Far from home,
surrounded by brown desert,
in a hotel room, alone,
a podcast plays the annual
Christmas Eve story
and the holiday arrives
despite the lack of snow,
gifts,
cookies,
tree,
or children.

CBC plays this beautiful Forsyth short story every year, and I always have a little tear over it. The late Alan Maitland was a wonderful reader. http://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-the-shepherd-edition-2016-1.3907204
A little Christmas view December 24, 2012
Tags: Christmas Eve, Shuswap, snow
Under clear skies, we have a lovely view of Mount Ida and the Fly Hills from the living room. At the moment, hills are obscured by low cloud, and snow blankets the neighbourhood. It’s barely freezing, and the snow is perfect for construction of snow forts and snowmen
Happy Christmas Eve to all!
