The holidays are a great time for media outlets to share stories that make homeowners and renters alike smile from ear to ear. This week, we want to highlight some of the best holiday-related reads we’ve had the pleasure of reading across the web. Maybe over your weekend cuppa or an evening in front of the fire you can pull out that iPad and have a browse. There’s something inspiring, educational, and entertaining for everyone – and with 16 days left until Christmas and Hanukkah around the corner, we hope you have  a joyful holiday season.

And don’f forget – when you’re done with that morning cuppa or before you settle in for an evening in front of the fire, we have a host of local activities on our local events calendar. It’s winter in the San Juans and we hope to see you bundled-up and out and about for some holiday season fun!
