December Message from Our Founder

Hello and Season’s Greetings from the greatest place on earth… my living room. I am sitting here in front of the fireplace, looking out over a very chilly and a bit snowy Bear Lake, trying to express my thoughts and feelings. 

I have a confession to make. I love the Christmas time of year. I love Christmas music. I love eating all the yummy goodness that the holidays bring to the table. AND I love “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Yep, you heard me right. My favorite Christmas movie is the story about George Bailey, his challenges and his greatest blessing, his friends and family.

Just between you and me, I tear up every time I watch that show. It just hits me very close to home and reminds me how wonderful of a life it really is.

My message to you this month is simple. Round up your family, invite some friends over, crank up the holiday music and EAT. That’s what we do this time of year and we need to take advantage of it.

I know that is what is going to happen in our home. I will set aside the stresses of life, relax and enjoy.

Clarence penned it perfectly when he wrote “no man is a failure who had friends.”

From me, my family and the entire Water’s Edge team, I wish you a very warm and happy holiday season. 

Sincerely, 

Chris Shurian
