Earlier this month I moved into a condo in a gated community here in Mazatlan.  My neighbors have all been busy decorating for Christmas, and last night I took a walk around the development.  

There is no snow here in Mazatlan, but the twinkling lights and festive wreaths perform their magic. The are is being transformed into a Christmas wonderland.  Although electricity is expensive here, many homes feature elaborate displays. My favorite is merely steps from my own condo.

Another framed his garden with lights.

Santa is quite the popular fellow too.

And I adore this cute little snowman.

Palm trees adorn the streets in a variety of colors.

And these decorate lollipops are amazing!

One of my neighbors is setting up a nativity scene.

Merry Christmas from Privanzas!
