Have you got it?
I am definitely feeling it.
I was thinking that I wouldn't be in the
Christmas mood at all this year.
With everything being so different this year,
I was really worried that I might get a little bit down.
With everything being so different this year,
I was really worried that I might get a little bit down.
But that didn't happen.
I pulled out a few of my favorite Christmas decorations that I brought with me.
We set out to buy some lights and hang them on "Big Bertha".
We put up a tiny little tree with sparkling lights on it and set it outside right next to our door.
And in this little town of Port Townsend they had a tree lighting ceremony.
So we bundled up with our hats and scarves and braved the chilly air.
Now if that doesn't get you in the Christmas mood nothing will.
We even got a glimpse of Santa as we were listening to Christmas carolers.

Not only did we see Santa but we listened to the beautiful music
this young chap played on his flute. His poor fingers must have been frozen.
So my hopes are that you have all the
Christmas Spirit that this time of the year can bring.
Thanks once again for all your kind comments.
I feel so blessed to have met so many nice people here in Blogland.

Wow - you really did get a glimpse of Santa (that shot alone would make a believer out of anyone). Merry Christmas Linda.
Glad you are getting into the holiday spirit, I am still waiting for it to descend on me! Hugs, Valerie
So happy you got the spirit going! LOVING the photos!!!
The photo of the young flute player has a classic look to it. Well done! Your downtown has such charm, and then you take us to Puget Sound. Thank you for posting this wonderful tour!

Beautiful shots! I'm starting to feel it, too!
Glad you were able to find some spirit. The picture of the little chap playing his flute is great!
Well if I WASN'T in the Christmas mood before visiting all the Song-ography submissions...I def am now :). I ADORE that B/W shot of Santa...the whole composition is nothing short of fabulous. I do wonder how I'd feel if I wasn't in the home I'm use to for Christmas? If I'd be "feeling" the Christmas spirit. After reading your account tho...I think home is where the heart is no matter where you are physically. Thanks for joining in on Song-ography.
Glad you in the Christmas spirit. Have a wonderful time and enjoy your journey.
Lovely post, Linda. I think you have the right idea and you will have a wonderful Christmas with your hubby.
Well you've caught the spirit alright. These were delightful and I love the travel trailer ornament.

I am definitely feeling the Christmas spirit, but you know, even if I weren't, I sure would be after visiting you here today!
I am actually a bit ahead of schedule this year. Ssssssshh. Don't tell anyone!
Happy Sunday to you, my friend. xo.
I'm so glad you are feeling the Christmas spirit! Some years it is a bit hard to find. We are going low key this year, but it has been relaxing to focus on home and family.
What a beautiful Christmas post.....if I wasn't in the Christmas mood before then I certainly am now after visiting you. Your photos are just wonderful Linda and I'm so happy that you and hubby are enjoying your Christmas in Big Bertha. I guess it doesn't really matter where you are experiencing Christmas as long as you feel the joy and the good will all around you. All the very best of the season to you my friend. xx
Sometimes different is really OK and every bit a fun memory. Sounds like you will have a wonderful Christmas and just think as it as "doing it your way." Hugs!
Beautiful shots Linda! I love the santa and the little boy playing flute. Yes…I certainly feel the sprit in the air here in the PNW! I wouldn't want to be anywhere else! :-)
Wonderful interpretations of the spirit of the season!
LOVE the candid shot of Santa! I can just imagine him listening in and taking notes.:)
I do have the Christmas spirit, and I'm glad that you do as well! I really love this time of year. Hope you have a great week ahead! :)
I've been so busy lately I've hardly had time to stop, so glad I dropped by today, I've really enjoyed catching up with your travels, Merry Christmas my friend

I LOVE that you have put up a tiny tree and lights in your new homestead, Linda! SO sweet! Enjoy!
The Christmas spirit on wheels. How fortunate to come across a tree lighting. I'm glad you remembered to pack a few faves for Big Bertha. Go get those lights...they'll look great decorating an awning or something on a warm summer night.
Fingers of the flute player-how about the lips?
I'm getting there and this post certainly helped. :) Sweet photo of the flutist and the "Always take the scenic route" ornament. How perfect for you guys!
