Merry Christmas Los Angeles!

 
In celebration of this season, I'd love to share with you some of the AMAZING holiday good times Los Angeles has to offer. Above are the spirited, Dickensian carolers at the Tam O'Shanter. They harmonize so well, they vibrate. They carol from  December 1st - 30th. It's a MUST DO. 

ALSO:

Holiday lights downtown are proof that the scene is booming. There was even a troupe of local carolers!


Day trip to Santa Barbara to enjoy holiday shopping, and decadent chocolates from Chocolats du CaliBressan. After all,  Jean-Michel Carre is known as "the French chocolatier of the American Riviera."


The historic Roosevelt Hotel is all decked out, with real trees (ah, the smell) and gourmet gingerbread houses.

The streets are decked out!


Luckily, my neighbors across the street were inspired by A Charlie Brown Christmas....and penguins.


The beauty of tacky Christmas lights. This is in Pasadena, not far from Christmas Tree Lane!


The cabin always looks best at Christmas, as most cabins do!


MERRY CHRISTMAS!
