Celebrity Christmas Cards

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

As an added “benefit” of being a Colorado delegate for the Republican National Convention this year, I was sent Christmas cards from both the President and Vice-President. Now, depending on your feelings towards this administration, then these cards could be a very neat thing or you could care less. Either way, it is neat to know that there were 44 Coloradoans, including myself, who received two Christmas cards from the White House. Here’s how the cards read:

“May your heart and home be filled with the joys of the holiday season. 2008″
signed: George Bush and Laura Bush

Our best wishes to you and your family in this holiday season and throughout the year ahead.”
signed: Lynn Cheney and Dick Cheney

Echo Mountain Park

Why Echo Mountain? Here’s a few good reasons why they’ve at least earned the attention of this blog:

closest mountain to Denver (about 45 minutes away)

relatively low-cost tickets and season tickets (especially compared to the other mountains)

night riding available

ski & ride school (if you don’t know how to ride, they’ll teach you!)

local feel- not the corporate feel of the other mountains

terrain park for serious winter athletes

great food, great music

AND they’re involved in the community! Echo Mountain partnered with marketing students at Metropolitan State College of Denver to provide the students with some real world experience.
