Christmas Photos

Its been a wonderful three months here at Canyon Lake and we are half way through our contract. We attended the local Christmas Parade and it was a lot of fun. Bob indulged me and decorated the gatehouse for Christmas and took me out to see the lights in Windcrest, Tx, a suburb of San Antonio.


Windcrest is known for lighting up the entire town. Neighborhoods get together and some even have themes. Businesses get involved as well. The city decorates the water tower as a giant candle! The fire department hands out maps and a list of the award winners in each category. It was quite the sight.

River Walk in San Antonio is beautiful all year but  especially so at Christmas. Unfortunately, we picked the wrong night to go down there. It was warm Monday so we headed out. Didn't realize that the Alamo Bowl was to be played Wed evening between Oklahoma State and Arizona. Many of the festivities are either just for players and their families or so expensive that the average person can't afford to go. But on Monday evening, down at River Walk, they had pep rallies, brass bands, etc. and everything was free! Well, it was not the night to view the lights!  I got as many photos as I could before the throngs of people showed up!  And Oklahoma State won the game last night.  Yea!

  So, although this is not Bob's favorite time of year, and he is usually feeling Bah, Humbug about now, he was a pretty good sport about it and let me have my fun! I wonder what he is going to expect in return......
