Christmas is upon us.

German Xmas things. Some of these are still a novelty for me.

Like fruit at the markets

There is gnome reason for this

Night watchmen

These almost got me. Electric lighted snow globes

We spent the week before Christmas for several years in Death Valley. Took bikes and our camping trailer. Had Christmas dinner at the Furnace Creek lodge. Drove home on the 26th. It was great.
