It's been really hard to feel like it's Christmas this year. It's just sooo different here. Then, this morning we got an e-mail from our daughter Jenifer with this attached. Check it out.
There are some decorations here in Baja, but they're mostly small and simple, not the Las Vegas gaudy type stuff that we're used to at home, yet still very enjoyable. And, many of the stores have special toy sections and Christmas candies and stuff. We even said hello to Santa Claus at the supermercado the other day - that was kind of a treat. Yesterday, we were invited to have free coffee and pastries at a local restaraunt. Their way of saying thank you to customers. So the Christmas spirit is alive and well. It's just different. I think it's the lack of television - the constant barrage of commercials urging people to spend more and more - that makes it feel so different. There's no pressure, and it's a joy.
Well, here's wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas.
