Xmas Village!

Holy crap! It's almost Xmas! It happened so fast - it just snuck up on me! I think you know.....I love me some Xmas! Might I digress from my incredibly long winded tales of our European vacation to express my joy, my zeal, my zest, my lust, my love for all things xmas. 

This past year I scoured thrift shop after thrift shop, looking for just the right holiday items....and I found some doosies. So the day after Thanksgiving, it was time for us to set up Xmas Village with our old...and new friends.

We've got holly

Flowers and pinecones

Santas

A Tiny Santa on a reindeer in a teardrop

Santa and Mrs. Claus

Santa and Mrs. Claus makin' out

William Conrad as "Santa"

Possessed Santa

Trees

Jesus in a snowglobe

 Jesus on the Cross saucer w/Crucifixion cup

Virgin Mary snowglobe

Village

Used Car Lot

Booze sweater

And after we set up, we decided which sweater to wear from our ugly sweater collection.....

Hugging bears?

Peace Dove?

Socks on sweater?

Puffy paint tree and presents on sweatshirt?

Knit cabin w/Santa sweater vest?

A sparkly tree?

....then we put 'em on and went to 
Olvera Street. 

We stuck with tradition and had taquito's at Juanita's

picked up a tin ornament at Casa California

 toured Hastings Ranch and checked out the Xmas lights

Yes....Peanuts

Spongebob, Sock Monkey AND Snoopy - The Trifecta

Here's a new one....Hello Kitty

And then we ended our evening with a burger and chili cheese fries at Tommy's.

Fart Village

This year, we're changing it up. We're driving the Maxi-Mini to Arizona to spend Xmas day with my sis. We thought we'd spread some eye-talian holiday love in that desert oasis. You know I love me some Arizona - almost as much as I love me some Xmas! 

I'm hoping we see this.....

and this....

and this....

So happy holidays everyone! I hope you kids have a super groovy one!
