Merry Christmas, Everyone! I'm so happy I got to spend so much time with all of you! It was an absolute pleasure! I genuinely appreciate all of the businesses, and various hosts that invited me to their events. Now it's time to sit back and enjoy some R&R.
If we've taken a photo together this year, I'd love to see them!

I had a great time with everyone! I started Friday at the Briar Patch Cafe, and went on to High Country Lights Friday Evening. I got to see hundreds of smiling faces at Galax's Appalachian Christmas Festival, and yesterday, I visited Skeeters in Wytheville, The Mason Jar at Claytor Lake, and ended at The Mason Jar in Hillsville.

If we took a photo together, drop it in the comments below. I'd love to see them.
