Southern California winters don’t look too different from any other time of year so we have to go to events like Downtown Oceanside’s Annual Holiday Tree Lighting in order to evoke Christmas cheer. The tree lighting always lands on Thursday, an extension of Sunset Market, so for us it means starting at Stone Brewery, paired with Sunset Market delicacies (for Lisa and I was it was Indian samosas). With Downtown’s Christmas tree lit, it is beginning to feel a little bit more like Christmas.
I love the photo of A1 on Eric’s shoulders next to another kid on shoulders. What holiday merriment! I’m sorry we couldn’t be there. You captured it perfectly! I love this festive post.
