Even though it's two days since Christmas Day, there's still reason to celebrate the Christ Child's birth and the joy He brought to the world. 

I hope your Christmas was a happy one and that the new year brings you health, happiness, and time with those you love.

One December quite a few years ago my husband and I toured the current governor's mansion to see the then First Lady of Wyoming's Christmas decorations. Several long tables and the grand piano were covered with winter-themed porcelain ornaments, but my favorite was this nativity scene set by itself on a small table.

Where do you find houses like this in Cheyenne? One way is to take one of the Cheyenne Street Railway Trolley's holiday lights tours. 

I was attracted by the simple white lights outlining the figures in the nativity scene. Beautiful!

Snowflakes are beautiful; Santas are cute; but they're not the reason we celebrate Christmas. That's why this month's posts will feature the true reason for the season.

I found this nativity scene in the basement of the Historic Governors' Mansion here in Cheyenne. The building and trees aren't ones you'd find in Bethlehem, but maybe that's the reason the artist crafted this -- to remind us that people all around the world celebrate Jesus's birth.
