The Miracle of Christmas Branson, MO

We went to Branson two weeks ago to see this show. It was Veterans weekend. What were we thinking? There were zillions of people in town for the occasion and we were not able to get tickets. So much of our journey has been dictated by fate and this was to be no exception. We went back to Oklahoma to say goodbye to our kids as we left on our next six month journey.

When we went to Broken Arrow to see Shantel and Mike they were celebrating Ryder’s second birthday. What a treat for us. Living so far away from family has major draw backs regarding sharing family events. It was a great day for us.

We were leaving Oklahoma City after saying goodbye to Chuck and Lura Lee when we discover the macerating was not working. We couldn’t find an RV dealer that would help us so we headed back to Rogers, AR where Hoss was able to solve the problem and take care of us.

We stay at Branson City RV park on Tanneycomo Lake. It’s pricier than we usually spend but just love the water fowl, fishermen, and boats coming and going. The location is great also. It’s right down from The Landing and the old downtown.

We were so excited to be able to come here at this time of the year. From Nov. 1 until the end of Dec. they have all the Christmas shows and all is decorated to the hilts. Well, you can tell we are retired and never know what day of the week it is much less if it is a holiday weekend. We showed up last Friday with no reservations to discover that Branson celebrates Veterans Day for a whole week. People come from far and wide and have reservation for a year in advance.

We did get an RV spot, not by the water the first night, but were able to move the next day. We weren’t as lucky to get tickets to the Christmas Shows. They were sold out until the week of the 21st.

We were able to see one of the drive thru Light Shows on Monday night. It was rainy but that didn’t distract from the beautiful presentation.

Still having problems with Christmas Music, Lights and decorations before eating turkey but it was beautiful and we are glad that we were able to experience it. Still very disappointed we couldn’t get tickets for The Miracle of Christmas. We will just have to save that for the next time.

We have been in Oklahoma due to medical issues. All is well now but did want to share where we have lived. We are often asked how can we affor KOAs at $45 a night. We don’t do KOAs but prefer Corp of Engineer parks. They are almost always on water, the spaces are large and the scenery and wild life are exceptional. They are usually $18 to $20 a night and half price for price America the Beautiful card holders. The colors right now are gorgeous. We are on our way Branson, MO for the Christmas lights and The Miracle of Christmas show.
