Christmas is almost here, post some photos you took around Christmas time in Baja


Took this one 4 days before Xmas looking back from the pier at Beto's place in San Fransquito.

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!





Come visit La Bocana

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…

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

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.

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.
