Christmas in Boulder


What makes a good Christmas? The recipe this year looked like this: a foot of fresh powder; a sweet visiting grandmother who can shop, cook, and wrap presents like a caffeinated elf; a dad who has the patience for 704 piece lego sets; a santa who knows just what things matter on the Christmas list; a city whose traditions include Christmas carolers, outdoor ice skating parties and a calendar full of December holiday parties. In a year when Santa's authenticity was heavily in doubt in the minds of two growing boys, he pulled off a stunning comeback. Perhaps it is easier to suspend disbelief when the holiday atmosphere seems to jump from the pages of the most famous Christmas poem.

"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night."
