Celebrating Christmas in an RV park

Wherever we go in RV parks we see Christmas decorations. Lights can be hung on trees and on RVs. Mirrors on motorhomes sport Santa hats. This year we have been traveling and enjoying how others decorate. We have a small tree inside our trailer, a few gifts, a nativity set and Santa.

We saw the first outdoor decorations in Canyon Vistas before we left on this trip.

Santa was parked in the Junction, Texas, park we stayed in.

At Peach County RV in Stonewall the rocking chairs all sported Santa hats.

Here in Blazing Star in San Antonio there are lots of decorations. The snowman is shivering.

Santa has moved here and shares his trailer with a penguin.

An elf is sitting on this mirror.

The Holy Family is on a patio.

Only in Texas would you find Santa trying to ride a bull!

We even saw Santa in person, riding in a golf cart here in San Antonio.  He gave me a handful of small Hershey candy bars.

Don't Miss This

If you visit Fredericksburg, a visit to the World War II in the Pacific and Admiral Nimitz museum complex is a must. During the past year we have been reading a lot about World War I and II. Earlier this month we visited the George H. W. Bush Museum in College Station. But visiting these museums in Fredericksburg showed us we were familiar with the world wars in Europe but not in the Pacific.

This time we learned about the history of Japan and China for the centuries before the wars and gained information about many of the battles held in the Pacific during the first half of the 1940s. Since that is when we were born, we had heard of Midway and Guadalcanal and others but didn't understand them. We learned a lot. In fact we have never spent 4 to 5 hours in museums in one day. It was fascinating.

We didn't take pictures except of the Japanese Peace Garden. It was built by the Japanese in thanks for all Admiral Nimitz did to help the Japanese after the war. (Nimitz was born and grew up in Fredericksburg.)  There is a small building beside the garden was was designed in Japan and the parts made there then brought to Texas and assembled by Japanese workers.

It is a very peaceful place.
