As usual I spent the holidays in Mexico. Now that is the way to do Christmas in my opinion. Kids don't have the gimmies, family doesn't have to have arguments and one can really enjoy the season. We - my family and friends camp out on a streach of undeveloped beach just north of Bahia de Kino in the state of Sonora. There is nothing there, and I mean nothing. No tables or porta-potties, no water and not much of a road, but it is beautiful. I miss the sound of the waves when I get home from this adventure.
We have a traditional Christmas dinner of turkey and stuffing which we roast in a pit in the ground It was very quiet this year and only 5 people for dinner which meant that we actually sat down to the table to eat. Some years we have had as many as 35 people for dinner and wiped out two big turkeys right down to the bones. Several other folks showed up after the holiday - some first timers and some old friends that have often spent the holidays with us on the beach.
This shot is the view from the front of my camp. Rough to have to get up and make coffee looking out on this vista. I want to be back there now.
