A Very Robo-Christmas to you!



We spent Christmas Eve in the desert. The evening of the 23rd we took a family fieldtrip to see the Christmas light at Candy Cane Lane and then we set off on a bizarre adventure to "Robo-Christmas". It is a house in Palm Springs with over 7 million lights, there are some Christmas decorations along with all of the lights, but it is so extremely strange that it is hard to describe. This display would be much more suited for a haunted house at Halloween than a celebration of Christmas. The "artist" who owns the house and sets up the display builds huge robots out of old appliances, discarded car parts, trash cans, etc......oh yeah, and the ever popular Christmas favorite, skeleton heads and machine guns. Like I said, bizarre. We actually had a really good time laughing and cracking jokes with each other.
I am sure that after extended therepy the children will be fine.

Skeleton Tin Man


I wonder if he has his blow ups custom made. I can't imagine the alien santa is a big seller.

Hanging out on a robo-bench, I guess the kids didn't notice the big machine guns.

I heart robo christmas. Christmas just isn't Christmas until you see a skeleton in a coffin with lights all over it!
