 The Night Before Holden House
 
'Twas the month of Christmas and throughout the inn, the kitties were stirring hoping guests would soon check in. 
 
The afternoon wine social was presented with care, in hopes that guests would soon be there.
  
The beep of computers whirring on high, the guests were excited about free WiFi.
  
With rooms named for historic Colorado towns, let us welcome you with wonderful holiday scents and sounds.  
  
The wreaths, garlands, lights and nutcrackers were all in place, ready to welcome guests to our decorated Victorian space. 
  
The gourmet breakfast was set on a plate, and it was our hope that the guests would not be late. 
  
With fireplaces, bubble bath tubs for two, soft robes, private baths and TV's, the Holden House guest suites were sure to please. 
  
Don't bring your frowns, just bring your smiles, we're pleased to welcome all from miles and miles… Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!
 
We look forward to seeing you at Holden House soon. May the season bring you a holiday filled with health and happiness.  Thank you for your interest in our bed and breakfast. We hope you'll stay with us soon to share our love of Christmastime and the opportunity to deck our halls with garlands, wreaths, velvet bows, shiney ornaments, six Christmas trees, dozens of unique nutcrackers and thousands of lights. Share this special time with our B&B family and enjoy all the beauty of the season with us!
