Tis' the Season

Wishing You and Yours a Merry Christmas!

My favorite Willow Tree Nativity



Hope you've been good, and Santa brings you all you dream of!
Cheers to all!

1948 was a very good year, indeed!

Lights at the Beach


Christmas Lights Decorate the Beach

I love how the palm tree trunks are all decorated with lights!

Christmas at the beach is quite different looking than Christmas here!


Lots of trees and reindeer lights, too!

Perfect boat all lit up!

Along the beach road it is so festive with the lights from trees, reindeer, and condos.








This sweet nativity scene is at the base of this fountain with the dolphin sculpture.


Christmas tree all lit up in the window of an almost empty condo!



The light poles along the road even have holiday decor--a poinsettia,

a snowflake,

a shooting star,

and a Christmas tree.

Santa is peering over a wall at City Hall!

More decorations at City Hall.


These multicolored lit palm trunks are at the Post Office.

Santa and his reindeer taking off from City Park.

And this lovely lighted nativity is in front of the Baptist Church.

Wintry Beach


Winter Beaches and Sand Dollars

Walking along the beach all bundled up on a late December afternoon.
The water is still blue and beautiful, but the waves seem a little busier.

There is so much beauty at the beach, even when it is blustery and cold!

Sea oats and grass take on a different splendor.



I love the beach in the late evening.
