The 2014 Christmas Ships Parade is just fabulous this year. They have lots of new boats with fantastic light decorations. The Christmas Ships come right by the front of Tomahawk Moorage, where I live. They pause in front of our home, curtsey and bow and twirl around. We have friends over each year to enjoy the show and a Christmas pot luck party…..actually, we call it our Christmas Cruise.

When you live on a floating home, each year offers up some special times to have friends over to enjoy the life style of living on the water. Christmas is one of those times. The moorage is decorated by the home owners on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. It comes alive with bright lights to offset the winter darkness. The holiday decorations come down the Sunday after New Year’s.

This in one of the reasons I say “If you’re lucky enough to live on the river, you’re lucky enough!”
