Venice

One of the big advantages of Christmas is that Los Angeles empties out. Everybody goes somewhere else, to visit, for a holiday trip, and those choosing to stay behind enjoy uncongested freeways and beautiful parts of the city minus the usual throngs of people milling around.

An especially pleasant place to visit on Christmas Day is Venice to take a stroll along the canals

Yes, that’s something you’ll experience only at Christmas.

Of course one has to go down to the beach too, to enjoy the sun, the wind, the waves. At a pleasant 73 degree F not a bad way to spend Christmas.

Snow?

Bah humbug.
