Merry Christmas to All

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.  Some of you were able to spend it with family, and some were not due to a variety of circumstances.  Many suffered a loss of a loved one and to you we send our deepest condolences – may you remember the happy memories.

Our Christmas was spent in Yuma once again as often have in the past.  One of our activities at this time of year is to take a stroll down 54^th Street – a block where many participants take part in the street Christmas theme – The Night Before Christmas. It is always fun to see the various decorations and lights.

 

Following are a lot of photos but the residents certainly are to be commended.

This year the weather was unbelievable – here is a photo taken at 9:30 in the evening.

 

Christmas Eve was spent around a campfire enjoying hors d’oevres and great conversation.  We were concerned about the fire as it was a rather windy day.  But just as planned, the wind subsided and we had another perfect evening.     

                                                                                         

Christmas Day was potluck brunch.  As you can see, it was all outside, on another lovely day, with an assortment of some delicious food.

Since we have been laying low, so to speak, our activities and outings are kept to a minimum.  As with everyone, we are trying to keep safe.

I would like to end with a verse from the John Lennon song “So This is Christmas”

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

Have a great week!!
