Tomorrow’s story about how Christmas trees came to Carding is the first Carding Chronicle I ever wrote. It’s still one of my favorites and every year, I unpack it with the same reverence I reserve for those special ornaments we hang on our tree.

It’s amazing how many memories are locked into holiday ornaments, isn’t it?

No matter how you celebrate winter, I hope you take the time to gaze up at the star-filled sky and celebrate our spin through the universe.

Hope you can stop by.

Welcome to Carding, Vermont where life always includes a dash of the unexpected. You can find the little town that no one can seem to find on a map right here in the Carding Chronicles and in the four novels of Carding, Vermont, The Road Unsalted, Thieves of Fire, The Dazzling Uncertainty of Life, and Lights in Water, Dancing.
