I believe in angels.  Inspires me to want to break out in song: “Angels we have heard on high…”

Into the wild with the elephants

Mama giraffe and her child-the dark space behind them is Offatts Bayou in Galveston, Texas.

Christmas lighting is not complete without Santa. . .this Santa is riding the waves!

We’re in Galveston. . . pirate Jean Lafitte's ship?

Hold it. . .Santa was riding the waves a minute ago. . .now he is snorkeling-this guy sure gets around! Duh!

This looks like Ms. Foxy who used to visit us at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California

Tobogganing. . .reminds me of growing up in the snow country of North Dakota!

We’re in Texas---a cowboy boot and the yellow rose of Texas!

By now you’ve probably guessed that these are not the lights in MY yard!  It is the annual Festival of Lights at Moody Gardens--one mile of Christmas lights!

In North Dakota no matter how cold it was we ice skated every day after school.  This is a real treat for these Texans. (No, I didn’t get out there-I haven’t been on ice skates for a VERY VERY long time!)

A poinsettia Christmas tree

The very small tree in our 5th wheel home.  A couple of years ago Lee & Don gave me “Betty’s Diner” (left of tree), this year we found “Gary’s Gas & Service Station” at Michael’s.

Our Candy Cane themed exterior lighting display on our site overlooking Offatts Bayou in Galveston.  A very nice place to call home this Christmas of 2010.
