Jeff - It's been a few decades since I've been on a hayride, I would love to take my boys on one since they've never done it.
Hello Jeff:
Having spent 5 Christmases in Mission Viejo CA, I know that Southern CA Christmases are "different' Please enjoy the holidays.
Marshmallow roasting, firepits. Almost makes our part of the world Christmassy. Difficult to do. Hope the winds stay down.
Michelle - ditto here. Could be lots of fun. And since it doesn't get ALL that cold here...
Brian - well they are. It took a while to get used to palm trees all lit up. But I like it just fine.
Jane - well we do what we can. I don't need cold and snow to feel Christmasy
Jeff
Hi Jeff, I have never been to this event but I have seen it from the highway for a lot of years. Nice event post Jeff!
Jeff, this sounds like a fun time, but something about celebrating the Xmas season without snow on the ground just does not seem natural. Santa needs snow :) :) :)
Cool looking display Jeff. I echo Georges comment about not having any snow at least for Christmas:) Hope your doing well.
