Colorado tends to have a magical affect on people, especially during the holidays. Perhaps it’s the fresh air or the beautiful snow covered mountains. Whatever it is, it seems to bring people very unique people together, with very unique ideas.
On Christmas Day a couple from Congress Park, Colorado, who originally met at a Christmas party, […]

If you’re a true country music fan you may be familiar with Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s “Once Upon a Christmas”. If so, you’ve probably heard the song “Hard Candy Christmas”.

The other day on MSN.com they featured pictures of Christmas scenes around the world. Unfortunately I didn’t pay attention to what country it was in, but there was a picture of four to five beluga whales (I believe that’s the kind they were) wearing Santa hats.

Many people seem to think the zoo is only someplace you go to during the warm weather in the summer. Some people even believe the zoo is closed during the winter season in the colder climates. That may be the case for some smaller zoos, but not in the case of the Salt Lake City […]
