Wow, it is hard to believe this will be our tenth Christmas spent on the Road of Retirement. How has it been that long? Our initial plan was to RV for a minimum of two years and I forecasted we might do this 3-5 years depending upon whether or not we were still enjoying it. Guess what?
We still are enjoying it! Yes, even in a year with a pandemic we are discovering ways to have fun on the road. How much longer we do this is really anyone's guess. As I tell people we are simply kicking the can down the road until it just isn’t fun anymore. We admit this year has been vastly different than Christmases past.

Normally our daughter has flown in no matter where we choose to winter but not this year. Not only because of Covid but she found out she was pregnant and due in March of 2021 so no travels for her this winter. We held out hope that this year since we would be in Texas we would be able to spend Christmas with our son and his family in San Antonio. However, Covid is pretty bad there so we are staying home in our RV. Sharon hasn’t even been inspired to put out our decorations. To cheer ourselves up, I decided we should make a normal, festive Christmas dinner.

I also decided to post some of our favorite Christmas photos over the years in this blog to normalize this unique time in our lives. We realize this Christmas and this year has been trying for us all but like you, we are trying to make the best of it.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
NOTE: We are currently in Port Isabel in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas for the winter…
Merry Christmas from the Dixons in Apache Junction.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the upcoming arrival of a new Grandchild.
ReplyDeleteHope you all celebrated a Safe and Merry Christmas.
It's about time.
Great news about the upcoming grandchild, congrats!! Hope your Christmas was a good one despite everything. The last few years we've not put any decorations out, after selling Christmas trees and moving around it just hasn't happened. I look forward to when we no longer sell trees and are stationary during the season, but right now we'll enjoy the $$$s.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the on the upcoming new addition to the clan!
