Isn't this the best time of year? I Love seeing the faces of young people, as they take in the sights and sounds of the season, and get perhaps their first glimpse of Santa.
Friends and neighbors gathered at our house last night for a little bit of Christmas cheer, to reflect on the year rapidly vanishing and looking towards the new year with hopeful anticipation.
Thank you for sharing this piece of cyberspace with me. I wish the best for you in 2009. Merry Christmas from Southern California!

It would be my honor to show you the incredible Temecula Valley, a place I’m very proud to call home.


Hey Tom. I lived in Fallbrook for about 3 years so I got to go to Temecula a lot. Nice area, too far from home (Florida is a 2 hour flight away from the Dominican Republic). I think I will always believe in Santa Claus because I believe in giving and in seeing people smile and get excitement out of a thoughtful gesture from the ones they love.
Thank you for sharing!
Now Tom...I saw those two penquins (is there another one hiding back there?) down in Antarctica. How did they make it all the way to your house?
Well, I'm glad they are there to show Santa the way.

Merry Christmas to you and Laura Tom.
Elayna - I love the Fallbrook Avocado Festival! Thanks for your thoughtful comments.
Kate - Just two penguins... they took the Polar Express to Murrieta and seem quite content here. Merry Christmas!
Gary - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Tom - I wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas!!!
Barbara-Jo - The same to you. Happy New Year, too!
