November 27 2011 Christmas at Lake Havasu City

Christmas is coming, even here! We went downtown for the Festival of Lights, went to a little pub to wait, temperature in mid-70’s. At 6:00 pm they had 20 swimmers, race to cross the channel (200 meters) and the winner got to turn on the lights. It felt very surreal to me as we would normally have very cold weather, Santa came and he was driving in a golf cart as it was easier to get around to his waiting chair. It also happened to be the same weekend that Streetsville turned their Christmas lights, and they had gloves and mitts on.
