Glenn, these are really good ideas I am not doing any decorateing this year but the park that we are in is having a contest and will pick a winner for the best decorated rig. I must say that there are a lot of nice ones and I enjoy looking at them at night.

And guess who had a mental lapse volunteered to be a judge?
I have to announce the winner at Monday Morning Coffee this morning. 1st prize is $100, 2nd $75, 3rd $50.
When I raised my hand to volunteer 3 weeks ago there were only half dozen rigs decorated. Judging was last night and there had to be 75+ of which a dozen went absolutely NUTZ. I mean these folks had barely a foot of undecorated area remaining around their units. Everything from decorated Palm trees, both real and artificial, to Flamingos, yes! Flamingos, along with the regular Christmas stuff. Try to pick just 3 out of that.

That's a nice article, Glenn. We've been wondering what the Disney World campground (Fort Wilderness) looks like this week as it is brilliantly light up even on a non-holiday week. Sounds like you've got a little of Fort Wilderness going on there in Seminole.

We have driven through several of the RV Parks here in Yuma, including ours, and I am amazed at how nice the decorations are. It is fun to walk around ours in the evening. There is a contest going on at our park too. A Montana across the road from us looks to be in the running as a winner. Have yet to talk to the owners though.

Judy's idea of hanging things on the louvered doors with S hooks is a good way to decorate. When we decorated our stick house this year, we discussed what will go away, what will go in storage and what will go with the Monty. We have a very small tree with its own tree skirt, lights and very small ornaments. I used to put it up in my office at work. It will be perfect for the end table in the Monty. We also have red rope lights we wind around the awning legs. We've been in parks where people really go all out with decorations and just seeing others makes you feel good if you can't do much yourselves.
Happy trails.....................

Here ya go but bear in mind there are a lot of graphics and photos which have NOT been edited. Some of these are rather large and will require a long load time especially for those with dial up connections. AND the photos do not really do the displays justice. It's one of those.."You really had to be there" things.

Those are mobel homes not trailers. so my mother tells me,  when ever I call her rig a trailer, she corrects me very quickly that they are mobel homes.

In Florida they are referred to as "park models" and park model or model home at one time or another they were on a set of axles making them trailers. In fact many of the "park models" down here still have their axles but no tires and are required to have a license plate or pay the taxes of a permanent home.

Thanks for the pictures, Glenn. The download was surprisingly quick even on this old dialup. Looks like they've got the spirit!

Our neighbors in Yuma are all decked out in their Montana and I snapped some pictures but I am spending entirely too much time trying to figure out how to post them so if you click on our journey you will find them at Christmas in a Montana. They did not know about the MOC but they do now.
