Last night we took a tour with MWR (Cannon) to what is called, "Christmas on the Pecos." It was another one of those things we've been talking about doing but hadn't quite done it-yet!
Carlsbad, NM has the Pecos River running through it. Actually, it's fed by a spring but that's not my point.... The community offers 45 mins long boat tours up and down the Pecos River. Residents along the river lavishly decorate their homes and yards with richly detailed Christmas decorations for the boaters. Some businesses, such as the local Lion's Club even adopt some of the area along the route. There's everything from Clifford the Big Red Dog, Santa, Frosty and nativities. We had a GREAT time! Afterwards, we indulged in, "Genuine Pennsylvania Dutch" funnel Cakes and trust me, they were genuine! I don't know why we waited so long to do it but I know we'll return again within the next few years!!
The first pic is as you walk onto the grounds. The second is, well... you may recognize us.
Number 3 pic is our friends, the director of the Matt 25 Hope Center and his wife; Steve & Pauline Reschetar. The final pic is only one of the MANY light displays along the river. (Bill wants to figure out how they made this tree). The only thing that could have made it even more perfect is your presence. :-)
