I guess they are dreaming of snow….

Rumor has it that decently-sized christmas trees in Laguna Beach go for $200 and up this year. (I guess you might as well drink Irish whiskey to make your own tree…). Generally there seems to be price increases – http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/retail/sd-fi-christmas-trees-20161202-story.html

But never underestimate the ingenuity of people welcoming this holiday, particularly the boat owners. Every corner I saw at the harbor had something to contribute, from heartfelt to saccharine to truly funny. And definitely no shortage of poinsettias, plopped strategically among the succulents.

As one who celebrates Hanukah I can report that the Chabad of Laguna beach were not missing out, either. Alas, I did no get a photograph of their huge Hanukiah, or their oversized announcement of a Hanukah beach party this weekend. Just wonder how they play dreidl in the sand…..

I hope these images taken at Dana Point Harbor bring us all into the mood of some kind of celebration or another.

 

 

Even nature donned the requisite colors…

Here is a song about x-mas in LA… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsD5jTAdiYk
