Christmas in Arizona

It doesn't look, feel, or smell like Christmas! We go to the mall and other stores where Christmas decorations are everywhere.

We drive around with the air-conditioner running looking at Christmas decorations, and it's 75-80 degrees and sunny. This is new to us.

We like how they put Christmas lights around the palm trees, bushes, and cacti. I'm sorry but the huge blow-up snowman does look a little out of place on the brown grass and gravel. In spite of all this, you can't help but get into the spirit of Christmas.

We went to Mesa Temple and enjoyed the festivities there. Next year we want to go to the Zoo. I hear it is spectacular! We also want to go with George and Nancy, to a church that has the Nativity in real life! A camel can walk right up to you. I've only heard about it, so next year, I will have pictures and more to write about.
