It's Almost Christmas

Yes, it's almost that time of the year!  It's a time that all the little ones are excitedly waiting for that fellow in the red suit and hope that they have been good all year.

This past week has been very quiet.  We spent a week dry camping just outside of Yuma and then we moved onto a lot in town.  We will be here for a month as we will celebrate the holidays here.

We went to a light parade last night.  This consisted primarily of golf carts and ATV's that were all decorated.  Some folks are so creative when it comes to the decorations.  Santa was cloned many times as the vehicles streamed past.  It was a very impressive light parade with at least fifty vehicles showed their decorations.

As the big day draws near it is time to go out and do some shoppping as well as some baking.  I think maybe that tomorrow is the day.

I hope everyone has a great week, a wonderful Christmas. In closing, I have a little poem to share.

Christmas is full of shiny things
 That sparkle, gleam and glow;
These holiday pleasures dazzle us,
 And yet, deep down, we know...

That Christmas has its special gifts,
 But our year-round joy depends
On the cherished people in our lives,
 Our family and our friends.
