We are preparing for winter and Christmas at Hidden Valley Bed & Breakfast. We started by transforming our family room (next to the kitchen). We removed the built-in couch.  It was quite the amazing transformation thanks to Inspired Interiors in Whitehorse. It looks great with the two new chairs and the new couch, and it is very comfortable. Our B & B Guests love it!!

We also started the inside decorations for Christmas. All of the grand children came over to help and we had a great day full of fun and good visiting and snacks!! Now we are starting to bake!

Lots of help decorating the tree at Whitehorse B&B

All done!

We have had a lot of guests here to see The Aurora, and they have marveled at the dark that comes with this time of year. Right now it is getting light around 9:30 AM. It is still dark, but not pitch black at 9 AM. It is dark again by 5 PM. We only have 16 more days left where the darkness will continue to lengthen…that will be on the 21st of December, the longest night. After that, the light begins to increase again. I like this time of year because it feels peaceful, although that will end soon with the beginning of Christmas Festivities!!
