Christmas in the Park

As you know, one of the perks of our lifestyle is that we can leave the bad weather behind us.  The downside is that during the holidays, we are a long way from home & family.  But, that doesn't mean that the holidays are lonely affairs!  So, I thought you might like to see how we, and our fellow "Fulltimers" are celebrating Christmas in the campground.

First, a lot of people decorate!

And it's fun to go out at night and look at the lights!

There was even a contest for who had the best Christmas decorations!  And guess who the honorary judges were?  Yep, they asked us - ho, ho, ho.

As I've said before, the people here are great - very welcoming, inviting us to lots of events. 

 

 There was a delicious lunch provided by one of the repair shops in town (guess they get a lot of their business from the park?).

One of our favorites was the D'Hanis Elementary School Christmas Concert.

It had kids all the way from Pre-K to sixth grade doing a take off on "The Night Before Christmas", featuring some of the classics, but also songs like "Sleepin' On The Floor This Christmas", Will The Real Santa Please Stand Up?" and "Slippers Again This Christmas".  The kids (and teachers) did a great job - it was hilarious!

There was also a Gingerbread House decorating contest.

Didn't they do a great job?

Our neighbor loves to cook, and bought some wonderful fresh cauliflower at the farmers market in San Antonio.  He is making Cauliflower Potato Cheddar soup on Tuesday for the park, and we are helping serve the gang.

On Christmas eve, we will have our own celebration (but hope to get in a little Facetime with the Drassals). And, on Christmas Day, we are going to a dinner at the clubhouse with our new friends at Lone Star Corral!

And we wish all of our friends and family a very Merry Christmas!

P.S. I don't mean to rub it in, but it's going to be 80 degrees here Christmas Day!
