They were just delightful and that little one at the left stole the show when he sang.
There wasn't much in the city that didn't have a string of lights on it
I understand that one man, a popular singer from Mexico, owns both of these houses . I wouldn't want his light bill this month.
the displays were really remarkable
Some were not as effective as others. I think this one would scare little children but then clowns do anyway, don't they?
but this one just took your breath away.
this is a close up on the dragon just to show how they got that amazing effect.
And some just can't be explained
If you have read this blog before, you might remember we visited Hidalgo a few weeks ago and saw some Martian looking kid figures that I said that I would find out why they looked like that. Well, it seems they are part of a display having to do with the movie Shrek. Thats about all I can tell you about these figures.
We also went to the San Benito Christmas parade..................
the theme of which was a Cowboy Christmas. Lots of marching and dancing girls....these cowgirls had a little trouble keeping the hat strings in the right place...............
and there was a horse race....................
Also there were Mary,Joseph, the baby Jesus, and a sweet little angel. Mary wore pink shoes.
Of course if you have cowboys, you gotta have native people too. Beautiful costumes.
Some cute little angels-and kids having a good time.
Neil, however,was not having a good time, He was cold!
Before this winter I have never known him to be cold even during the worst New England winter. Well, we went home but with lots of Christmas spirit
Last blog until after Christmas so..................... no blog next week.
Have a wonderful and joy filled Christmas from Neil, me, Howie and Twink
