Christmas is Still Christmas.

It is a famous line from the movie Miracle on 34th Street, but this year it takes on new meaning in the midst of this unique time in Rocky Mountain history. While things may be in transition at this time of year, we can always look back at the rich history of Christmastime in the greater Rockies.

The first Christmas celebration in Colorado happened just over 215 years ago, a few miles north of Salida near the mouth of Brown’s Canyon. Zebulon Pike and his 15 soldiers had a reason to celebrate. Even though they were very hungry, on Christmas Eve, they bagged no less than eight bison. They would truly enjoy a Christmas feast!

Times have changed of course, but even in the midst of today’s challenges we will find ways to celebrate Christmas with our families in Colorado Springs and the surrounding area. We here at Altitude Heating and Air your HVAC choice wish you and yours a very safe and especially healthy Christmas 2020 and a very Happy New Year.
