"We know we are very much alive when, head bowed against a blast of cold air, we hurry on our errands. It is a good feeling. On a clear, cold night, the sky is lit by the winter moon and a scattering of stars. Country life is captured forever in our memories in a photographic mix of shadows and shimmering light. In December, we are never too young or too old to store up memories of the pleasures around us."
~ COUNTRY CHRISTMAS, Country Living Staff, The Hearst Corporation, 1990.
