We had a tree:

We decorated the "house" (pickup bed) with lights:
Also courtesy of Goodwill.
We watched Christmas movies:
Had a wonderful Christmas dinner prepared by Vicky, with input from Dan (consisting of "smells great! Keep up the good work!"). Turkey, potatoes, green beans, homemade cranberry sauce. Yum!
And GIFTS!!!!! Or, rather, A gift. When you live in a pickup bed there isn't a lot of room to (1) hide gifts or (2) carry them after giving them. So we decided that this year we'd just set aside some funds to do some special things together, to be determined.
But one gift we got for each other was a birdfeeder that we could carry along with us. We spent extra for some Nyjer seed.
And the birds have stormed the thing. I have to fill it 2-3 times a day which, if you are familiar with Nyjer, is expensive. So now are we not only feeding birds on Whidbey Island but in Arizona as well. But they are so fun to watch.
What a nice gift to each other. We are really enjoying it. It will be interesting to see the different types of birds we attract at the different places we stay.
And, finally, although we didn't have Reindeer visiting our pickup bed, we did have the next best thing: a Coyote:
Merry Christmas to all!
