Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountain Highlander: Hope, Faith and the Light

The Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains are a very special place. A place where you can visit or live away from the hustle, bustle and stresses of today's confused world. I am not saying that the mountains aren't feeling some of the same issues as the rest of the world. But I don't think we are feeling the issues as severely as the rest of the world.

We feel truly Blessed to have the privilege to publish the Blue Ridge Highlander. It has always been our goal to inform, entertain and inspire our readers and hope you take the time to explore the Blue Ridge Highlander and find the peace the mountains have to offer.

In our quest for this year's Christmas Tale, we were quite perplexed because of the current times.

Mrs. Highlander recommended an abstract thought for me to ponder on..."There is light at the end of the tunnel" a cliche, but one with meaning, and something we do believe....please read on....and gain your own sense of Hope, Faith and the Light at the end of the Tunnel.

For those of you that haven't read last years Christmas Tale, I know that you will enjoy it after reading this year's tale. This Christmas tale is several stories in one, our purpose is to take you back to the true essence of Christmas.

Please take the time to forward links to our story to all those you know that would benefit from the inspiration of the writings. I also invite you to post comments about the story. We have gotten a lot of great emails regarding the story and love to hear from all of you about how the stories made you feel.
