Change of plans

I am headed to Montana for 10 days 12/23 and will be back at noon on the first of January, the tickets have already been purchased and it's a done deal. I can't wait to go, Christmas with a real family where I don't feel like I am intruding or am a burden or a hassle.  A real white Christmas morning.  I am going horseback riding at sunset and I'm going snowmobiling and on a snow coach before I leave.  I'm going to sit on the front porch and enjoy a cup of cocoa curled up with a book and listen to the snow fall in it's heavenly silence.
