MORE PALM SPRINGS, CA

 On Dec. 11 we went to a Palm Springs Community Theater presentation of "Annie".  It was a cute rendition.  We walked around old town Palm Springs before and after.  We fell in love with the sidewalk cafe atmosphere.  We like the Christmas in short sleeve shirts style of things!

 For Family Home Evening on Dec. 13 we went to an area that is known for their community spirit in holiday outside lighting of their yards.  It was an amazing evening as we strolled through the neighborhood amongst all the other people out for a mid December evening stroll!

 This picture was for Cliff.  This whole yard was dedicated to a golfing Santa!

 On Dec. 17th we went to the Palm Springs Civic Center for a show put on by the world famous "Young Americans".  For you of our age think of "Up With People" but multiply the energy by 100!!!

 There were about 50 of these highly professional young people that kept us and about 800 other people completely entertained for about 90 minutes.

 It was a very fast paced and smooth program.

 They even had a tribute to various old rock stars and their interpretation of holiday cheer.  Here you see James Brown, ray Charles and Aretha Franklin strutting their Christmas Cheer.

 This was a cute presentation of 15 babies singing "I'm Gettin' Nuthin' For Christmas".

 A rather larger version of Dr. Seuss even paid us a visit.

Dec. 20th came and it was time to move on from our date palm preserve.  This was a pix from the night before taken from the roof of our 5th wheel.
