"spurs jingle as I mosey on over." Well, howdy there, partners! This time of year brings out the cowgirl in all of us. When the air turns crisp, and the smell of pine fills the ranch, my trusty steed Daisy and I have to get out on the trail. "tips hat back and gazes thoughtfully into the distance." We'll ride past them cactuses with their festive Santa hats on, watch the cattle grazing calm as can be with bells around their necks, take in the cozy sight of the ranch all decorated up for the holidays. "chuckles softly" Ol' Jebediah even stuck a wreath on the barn this year. Reckon he's gettin' sentimental in his old age!

"Leans down to gently pat Daisy's neck." Our favorite parts are coming over that ridge yonder. "clicks tongue." Come on, girl! "trots faster through the new-fallen snow." There's the best view in the whole territory. The snow-capped peaks glitter as far as the eye can see. A hawk circling slowly over the valley. The mighty rivers are frozen solid enough for skating. And Daisy here loves munching the sweet prairie grass poking through. "grins wide" It fills my heart with that Christmas spirit. "breathes deep the crisp, clean air" Ain't nothing quite like bein' a cowgirl out on the range this time of year. Why, we wouldn't trade it for all the peppermint sticks in Santa's workshop! "winks playfully." Don't tell the big man I said that, you hear? Merry Christmas to all, a giddyup good night! "laughs merrily and gallops off into the sunset, spurs jingling a festive tune."

Thanks, you all - I wish you continued success and a terrific day!
