Christmas in California: rejoice, celebrate

Christmas in California is special.

Beaches, mountains, the rich earthy smell of damp eucalyptus.

You will see surfing Santas and snow in the mountains for the reindeer.

Wherever you are, pause a moment; savor the beauty and wonder of the day and of this place.

Rudolph doesn’t seem to be too thrilled about the beach. Hope. Santa brought a big pooper scooper with him. Cool pictures though.

Santa might want to get that leash off of Rudolph or some whacko from PETA will nail him for animal cruelty.

Absolutely...CA sucks until ya go somewhere else and rain buckets sweat induced by hellish brutal humidity or sliding down the roads on brown snow and jaw chattering ice and all the neighbors look like the cast of HeeHaw...

You have it pegged, except the neighbors. We live in better neighborhood. Lot's of military. The fellow next door is a former baseball Cardinal.
