So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun



And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun




The near and the dear one
The old and the young



A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year



Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear



And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong



For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong



And so happy Christmas
For black and for white



For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight



A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year



Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear



And so this is Christmas
And what have we done



Another year over
And a new one just begun



And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun



The near and the dear one
The old and the young



A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year



Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear



War is over
If you want it



War is over
Now...

Today was an unbelievable day.

The mountain got four inches, and then it warmed up. Conditions were perfect; the snow was creamy like spring corn.

Nobody was there. We rode fresh tracks until 2 p.m.

I repeat: Fresh tracks until 2 p.m.

We stuck to the blacks and double blacks off the tram and really let rip on the steeps.

We rode aggressively, and both of us got a serious groove on.

Right proper-like.

More snow is forecast for the next two days.

I felt like a kid.

We had shit-eating grins on our faces all day.

Merry Christmas to You and Yours.

Today was an unbelievable day.

Peace,

The Dude

It was 80 degrees in Tucson. Fresh powder would have killed me.

That's why you live there and I live here.

Sure like the pictures, though.

Merry Christmas to you, India, and the puppies!
