Merry Christmas from Thailand!

It's Christmas time in Chiang Mai!  

Forecast: high 83°, low 61° - generally lovely! 

Suddenly all sorts of holiday decorations have popped up, like these poinsettias we saw on our way home from the fruit market,

Santa hats are the latest rage...

This old gal with the huge grey afro showed up in this snazzy decked-out 3 wheeler tonight - you should see her regular motorcycle - 

I'm dying to get a picture of it!

There are lots of trees, too - a weird airport model,

A nice looking one in a fancy hotel lobby,

This one is pretty sweet,

I like this pair of bar trees & a santa.

Have a seat & santa will serenade you!

OK - the last dog in a coat picture, but really - he's wearing a santa suit!

And ta-da! The tree in our hotel lobby, 

yeah a bit odd looking - and it flashes - a lot.

Doesn't the moat look pretty all lit-up?

And the biggest tree around - with a Star of David on top!

And so we toast you with a pair of holiday drinks from one of our favorite places, Juicy4U (carrot-beet-ginger & cucumber-celery-wheatgrass, in case you're wondering, it tasted like mowing the lawn. Once was enough.)

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL! 

Have a wonderful Holiday season & please keep in touch! It's our first Christmas away from home, away from Liz and our Fairbanks Family. We miss you all wherever you are, we wish you health & happiness & the best of everything in the New Year! Enjoy!

Peace & Love,
