Got Suguaro? Gotta decorate it. Notice the antlers on the car.

If you don't have a suitable tree to light, use the agave

Outlining the property lines is a popular means of holiday expression.

Merry Christmas!

Things are just a leetle different here in The Valley at the holidays.  The first winter

I was here in December '03 I was amazed that people put lights down on the ground in their rocks.  I got used to it.  In California, they lay lights on the grass in their front yards. 

Its a lot easier than getting out a ladder and hanging them from the gutters while you freeze your butt off in December!

Of course some people do both,

but here in the SW we can wear

shorts and t-shirts while standing

on the ladder.  Hope you enjoy

some picts of the quirkiness of the holiday lights around my neighborhood.

These reindeer know where the sidewalk is thanks to the red lights.

Overkill. Notice the table on porch where all the Dickens Village houses are.

Plastic luminaries add a festive touch to clutter.

This I like.  The ever popular lighted fake creek.

More colorful suguaro twins.

No real cactus? No problem- go to Lowe's and get a plug in model.

Why bother with lights when you can lure Santa with these hat decoys.
