Hello Barbara,

Houdy do this great morning. I really don't think I can make it over there for the lighting of the Christmas tree.

But the event will be on my mind when I help get our's set up today.

You should come and see "Christmas on the Pecos". People come from all over the world to see this event. Come and enjoy a ferry ride and see all the lights and decorations as you travel up and down the famous Pecos river.

For more information visit the web site.

Have a great Holiday season.

Best, Clint McKie and Family.

Conrad - I survived Black Friday by not going in a single store except my neighborhood Walgreen (not for Christmas shopping). I admit to a tiny bit of on-line shopping which you may hear about later. :)

Loreena - there is something special about lighting the area Christmas tree each year - it seems to say "it is now time to start celebrating Christmas.

Ginny - what is about Christmas cookies that always taste so good? I love them, especially the sugar cookies and the ones with the colored icing.

I like you Out and About series. What a fabulous way to showcase all the nice things to do in your town. I've done localism posts, but never thought of a theme. How clever!

Kudos.

Pacita - thank you so much. I have always liked themes and think they work if used correctly and consistently. I am still working on fine tuning mine and hope to post something on this soon.
