Ooooh-----Festive!!!!!!!

On December 5th at 5:30 the Christmas lights were officially turned on. In addition a golf cart parade took place. The residents decorate their carts with all manner of lights, tinsel and plastic reindeer. Many of us living on Cordoba met in my neighbors' Linda and Larry's driveway to cheer on the drivers. My other neighbor Candy baked cookies to give them. We were in a high state of excitement and really full of the holiday spirit. We caught sight of them three blocks behind us and my goodness they looked grand. We all got our cameras ready, and then they drove away! We were Scrooged over! Bah Humbug!

The above photo is a palm tree about ten feet tall.

A lot of the residents return here every winter. They own their lots and put pre-fab homes on them instead of R Vs. Some of the displays are so detailed I wonder where they store all the decorations.

Every neighborhood needs a little "Chevy Chase" themed yard.

This cowboy roping Rudolph actually rocks back and forth.

Another one of the pre-fab homes.

And now for the most festive tradition in the park.

The water aerobics class must wear Santa hats in the pool.

We have a workout choreographed to "The Twelve Days of Christmas".

After class we get in the hot tub for a while.

That's me in the middle and the instructor Diane to my right wearing reindeer antlers.
