{Spreadin'|Bringing|Sharein' Christmas Cheer|

Down here in Vermont, Christmas sneaks up on ya quick as a snowshoe hare. We don't just celebrate the season, we {really get into it. You'll see folks trimming their houses with boughs of cedar, and everyone's singin' Christmas tunes louder than a snow owl.

But it ain't just about the trimmings, though they sure are somethin' to marvel at. It's about gatherin' with family and friends, sharin' a good meal, and maybe even tryin' some ice-skatin' on a crisp winter's day.

Dashing through the slush, in a one-horse open sleigh. Oh what fun it is to ride and roar a happy holiday tune. The bells on bobtails ring, making a merry chime as we go! All the way.

We've got our scarves on, and our parkas too. It's a chilly day outside but we are feeling so festive. The magic is in the air!
