What fun!!!  We used to go into the city (Chicago) when we lived back there - it was so amazing to see the creativity of some of these people.

Love the theme. And no doubt in So Cal, it's mild enough to be outdoors and enjoy yourself.  Hmmm, a hot toddy booth, or Kalua and coffee stand would go over quite well, don't you think?

Karen most years it is very mild, once in a rare occasion we have had rain which creates havoc for outdoor fun here:))

Awesome! "Rock N Roll" Theme? This should be one hard partying Christmas! (I wonder, will Elvis be present?)

Endre - That sounds like a great event. Hubby and I have been to the holiday boat parade that the marina in Channel Islands puts on and that is a spectactular show. I imagine that Marina del Rey puts on a great show. Have a wonderful weekend Endre. :)

I haven’t been to our boat parades in several years, so I’m going to try to make at least one this year. I think we have four of them, with the biggest two being downtown San Diego.
