Real Christmas Spirit in Baja


As I sit here on the patio of my little Mexican house in southern Baja I raise my glass to the spirit of Christmas I see in the wonderously gimmering lights of our Christmas tree. It does not escape me that there are many in these parts who do not have such a tree of light. Many may not have the lights -- some may not even have such a tree. It occurs to me that some may not even have a comfortable couch like mine to sit on and admire a tree. There are those who may not have a patio. No patio. No patio at Christmas. Now that is a shame. I wish, for those without, a tree, a patio and a drink. I have had many drinks which makes me think I bought some booze or stole some from my neighbor Joe. Have not been caught so I might have bought it outright. For all those with no drinks, sobers, no patios, here's a picture of my glorious tree. If I can get the flocking camera to work. Okay. here it is.

Woody, Woody, Woody, I did not stop to consider all the many, many people with Cadillacs and other California eye problems that might make it impossible for them to see all the pretty lights.

I do see the lights, it's the "gimmering" that escapes me.:biggrin:

Or...maybe I need more tokillyah.:biggrin:
