Are you a displaced Coloradan who will be coming back to the Centennial State for the holidays? If you are, let me be the first to welcome you back, as well as warn you that you may quickly realize these 12 things upon arriving home:
- Only in Colorado are the sunrises worth waking up early for…
Flickr/Michael Levine-Clark You don’t even have to wake up too early to catch one of these colorful masterpieces, as the sun doesn’t even emerge until around 6:30!
- …and the sunsets equally spectacular.

- Snow storms are totally bearable in the Centennial State…
Flickr/Cathy McCray Seriously; how can you be upset with the weather when you feel like you’e living in a giant snow globe?!
- …and despite it being winter, it is almost always sunny!
Flickr/Cathy McCray That’s what happens when your state averages 300 sunny days per year.
- “Wow… the Broncos really do suck.”

- Since Santa’s Workshop is located right here in Colorado, EVERYONE is on the nice list.

- Both the beer…

- …and (legal) weed are better here in Colorado.
Flickr/Roel Wijnants This should come as no surprise, seeing as though we have hundreds of local microbreweries AND dispensaries!
- It is easy to get distracted around here.

- You can easily get a Rocky Mountain High.
Flickr/Scott Taylor …and not necessarily from the weed (last pot reference, I promise), but from the unbeatable Rocky Mountains!
- No matter your whereabouts, you will have an amazing view.
Flickr/dustin_j_williams Whether you are visiting the Eastern Plains, Western Slope, or Front Range, you are guaranteed a feast for the senses.
- Finally, you will quickly remember that Colorado is by far the greatest, most exciting, and most beautiful state there is.
