You would think people who live in RVs would not decorate very much for Christmas. Guess again! On 55th Street in the Yuma Foothills, where lots of RVers live, are the best Christmas lights around.
Each lot owner takes a part of "Twas the Night Before Christmas," and then tries to put the most lights they possibly can on their property.
I got there early so I could see the decorations before it got too dark.
Here's a shot of the same place later on. It's definitely easier to get a good shot before it gets too dark.
I remembered this tumbleweed-man from 3 years ago, but he's lost his little woman, and his clothes -
This is how it looked back in 2007. Maybe someone else bought the lot and took most of the decorations with them.
Even the animals got into the holiday spirit.
And how about a Christmas rooster? (Don't worry - he's not real...)
Everything gets decorated -
Even the cactus.
And the rest of the Foothills are very decorated too. This lot near where I am has 27 artificial trees on it!
And I loved the lights on this RV
The Foothills also has a Parade of Holiday Lights, where people decorate their cars, dune buggies, pickups, golf carts, etc. They were going too fast to take pictures, but I got a short movie.
I wish everyone a very merry Christmas!
WOW! We had a menorah :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the reindeer. (I've always wondered what the tongue weight was on Donder & Blitzen).
ReplyDeleteMERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Actually, Bubba, the dog, is wearing battery powered lights, and has been on 55th Street for 10+ years. His owners claim he loves the attention. Thanks for the memories. Ted and I wintered in Yuma for many years and loved 55th Street and the lighted parade. Up here, it is a lot colder, but we, also had a lighted parade!
