 This was our tree in La Bocana
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 This was the staff and teacher's Christmas party, in the palapa behind our hotel in La Bocana - 2011.
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 This is a great idea!
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 This is our tree here in Turkiye.
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 Merry Christmas everyone!

 In the late 70's I used to travel down to La Paz around Christmas time . I drove a fair
 
 bit at night as it was quite a long haul. The semi trucks would be a Baja answer to the
 
 Rose Parade
 
 with lights of many colors all over the rigs. This was before LED lighting. Quite a sight
 
 to behold watching these rigs come and go in the darkness of the night.
 
 Does anyone have any photos of some good ones?

 Very nice subject!
 I don't have any Christmas trip photos but do for New Years (a few, because we prefer the summer over the winter).
 Merry Christmas to you, JZ and the other Nomads who share Baja with us!

 Never seen tacos for xmas - i guess your tree is analogous to an american xmas tree made of hot dogs or hamburgers, eh?   I am a fan lf the xmas
tamales and pozole.  And I like the ponche navideno…
 
 
 
 
 
 Woke!

 I think the taco tree is really cool. However, those look like American style tacos, not real Mexican tacos.

 Okay surabi, here is something more authentically Mexican. Nopales trees!

 I think we have a winning photo!
 
 
 
 
 If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

 Not a winner, since it is not my photo. But it is funny.

 Pic from 12/24 at ~2:30pm on 2017.  We had been down in Baja for two weeks and had someone take us out to Isla Coronado on Christmas Eve.  You can see
the lighthouse in Loreto in the background.
 
 The boat wasn't a regular panga, it was very small and the wind was blowing hard.

 La Mision in Loreto always has one of the best trees in Baja.

 I don't like Christmas trees full of generic ornaments you can just go buy at Walmart. Our tree ornaments were all things the kids or friends had
made, and cool things collected on travels.
 
 I had these really ugly ornaments the kids had made in pre-school- a cardboard circle with glued on macaroni spray painted silver. When the kids got
older, we got into this silly little game where they'd say, "Mom, those are so ugly, you should throw them out", and they'd remove them from the tree.
Then I'd sneak them back on again.
 
 And one year when my granddaughter was a year old, she kept taking the ornaments off, so we had to put all of them on the top half of the tree where
she couldn't reach, and the whole bottom half was bare.
