Merry Christmas!

Published by Desert Diva under Holiday Fun, Journal, Travel

This Christmas I drove to Yuma, Arizona to spend the Christmas holidays with a group of single RV’ers. (WIN) I didn’t know quite what to expect, and it was fortunate I didn’t have any expectations! I drove all day on Friday, December 22nd to Yuma and arrived at approximately 8:00 p.m. Since I wasn’t quite sure where the gathering was, I “dry camped” at the Paradise Casino. The next morning I found the group on Highway 95 north on the way to Quartzsite, Arizona. There was a huge space off the highway alongside of a VFW.

On Christmas Eve, the group gathered for “finger food” snacks at 6:00 p.m. around the campfire(s) (although the party seemed to have started at approximately 2:00 p.m. with holiday visits to RV’s for drinks and snacks.) A special covered area (called the WIN-WAM) had been set up with lights and tables for the food.

Carols were sung, stories were told, and a “special visit” from one of the campers included his bagpipes! The fires were warm, the stars were out, and it was a beautiful Christmas Eve in the desert.

I thought the line in these sand dunes in Mexico were interesting…

Lindsay Lights

Published by Desert Diva under Holiday Fun

Since 2000, brothers Andrew and Martin Lindsay have set up a Christmas light show in Thornhill, Ontario. You can read all about the annual project at the Lindsay Lights website. The 2005 light show is pretty interesting also. (Uh, don’t tell Al Gore about this…)

It’s that sometimes stressful holiday season.  Slow down, take a break, and watch how a simple gesture like a hug can change the world…
