We’re forty miles from the Mexican border, and I love the traditional luminarias at this time of year.
The many other seasonal decorations and adaptations going up around town make me smile.
Right up front, I have to admit that I bought the plastic chili peppers to slip over the Christmas lights. They’re just plain cute.
On line, there's a place in Texas where they’ll sell you a Christmas Tree in the shape of a Saguaro cactus... should you ever want one and are willing to pay $399 for it.
I love the irony in a lighted snowman standing in front of a palm tree--
and the grace and elegance of the giant aloe with glamorous red balls attached. I give that a “Best in Show”.
