December 24, 2012 Christmas Eve in Berkdale

I spent the night last night in Hanah and Patrick's house and took Zipper for a long walk this morning in the cool damp air.  There were flamingos dressed like Santa Claus, Snow Men lights, the new- this -year lights in trees that look like snow falling, big red and green glass globes in the trees, light trimmed rooftops, bushes gleaming and twinkling.  We rounded the golf course on the cart trail and came back to sweet rolls and hot tea and the turkey in the oven.  Sergay is still asleep on the living room sofa and Liza helps me put out the traditional cookies to ice and decorate.
