IILIMRV: I would want it to be as large as I could reasonably afford with lots of slide outs.
IILIMRV: I would want to have a deck outside my front door, maybe with a roof.
IILIMRV: I would want a bathroom with the extra large shower in it.
IILIMRV: Give me a fenced and gated park, one that is as secure as possible.
IILIMRV: Give me some place quiet and peaceful with a heavy tree cover.
IILIMRV: Give me a spot at Providence RV Park, Quitman, Texas, near Lake Fork.

Do you have holiday traditions? At Providence RV Park near Lake Fork we have an unusual but great fun one I’d like to share with you. I can’t remember when we started it or why, but now we can’t stop…the kids won’t let us. We do a scavenger hunt, but not for the gift; just for the number written on the gift. All the gifts are on display, but instead of a name, it has a number on it. We have assigned each child a number but they have to hunt for it to discover which gift is theirs. My husband writes 3-4 clues, in rhyme for each child. They all start at a central place and eventually will be spread out everywhere looking for their next clue. And for some reason they think it’s a race so it gets funny as they stumble over each other. It’s a bit of work for my husband, but we all have so much fun that it’s worth it. One of our 13-year-old granddaughters told us that it was the best part of Christmas; so you see we can’t stop. For those too young to read, they have to do assigned tricks like jump 3 times and turn around before they get their number.
Some of our traditions have gone by the wayside as they weren’t too important to us or life just changes (someone blinks and there it goes again). But this one has stuck around. Do you have any special or fun traditions that are worth sharing?
Our family Christmas at Providence RV Park gets better every year. Do you have old, or new, family traditions?

I love all the surprises of Christmas. Where will the Elf be? You’ve been doing what? She’s engaged? We’re a large family so some we only get to see annually and those are the surprises they bring. With our immediate family it’s a bit harder to bring a surprise, but we try. Maybe you do the same. The teenagers invariably want gift cards or money as a gift. We go out of our way to disguise those gifts usually making it a gift within a gift. One year we gave them each a filled cookie tin and I thought we’d have to wait until they ate the cookies before we heard back from them. They all had little bit of a sad face as we explained it had been a hard year, there were so many needs posted on the angel tree from others in difficult situations, it was the season to be giving you understand, until one of them dug deep. Then there were cookie crumbs everywhere. Do you have a good way to hide a gift card?
Christmas at Providence RV Park is always filled with family, fun and magic.
Here at Providence RV Park near Lake Fork, Texas, maybe I should hang them as ornaments on the trees; we only have a couple hundred of them here.

Christmas is full of wonder. I wonder how that tiny drop of water transforms from liquid to sparkling solid on that tree limb. Hundreds of them, luminous, a tree of diamonds. I wonder at the pure joy I see on Christmas morning in my grandkids. I wonder how I can eat so much in one sitting. I wonder whether I’ll get to wear a sweater here at our beautiful RV Park at Lake Fork or if I’ll still be in capris wishing for snow. I wonder what the latest must have toy is and if I forgot anyone. I wonder if I have all the ingredients I need. I wonder why I get all caught up in this. And then I stop to wonder at the Reason for the Season. Yes, stop and wonder, take the time. Wonder most at the incredible gift of the Christ child.
In this season, may you find joy, peace, stillness, and wonder.
