Christmas Eve. Good assortment of cutaways during both day and night hours. Many of the rigs and campers are adorned with Christmas decorations and lights. The red, blue, and green lights come across relatively well as gain is alternately boosted and lowered to compensate for the night sky. Also a sequence in here as snowbirds (two men & two women) toss a bean bag back and forth.
