Saturday morning, December 5, we awoke to a dusting of snow on our mountain, one day after my wife draped our front door with wreaths and garland.

No matter. It was a blockbuster day for college football. Boys camped out in our basement to watch the

Rammer-
Jammer here on our mountain. I love celebrating this Season of Miracles.
