The Christmas Boat Parade in Newport Beach began last night and will run through December 21, 2014.

Newport Harbor looked so festive driving by, and there is a TON of traffic. I have been in this traffic for the past two nights, and it is really stop and go. And I am thinking it is going to be worse tomorrow night because it is Friday night. There are many parties going on, and there are limo's and party buses bringing people to this event. Also, the home owners who have Newport Beach bay front homes have their homes impeccably decorated as well. On Balboa Island in Newport Beach - the homes are decorated completely and it is fun to see the reflection in the water!

So, tomorrow I am going to a party at Bayshores in Newport Beach and will look forward to taking many upclose and photos and video. I will be sharing with you all on Saturday!!

My daughter is fortunate enough to be on a yacht tomorrow night with her friends, and I am sure she will see amazing sites!

The photos I have shared are from last years Newport Beach Parade of Lights!

It is truly Christmas - California style!!!

Hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas season!!

The Parade of Boats at Newport Beach must be quite a sight. I should find out if there is a similar parade here in SF - boats along the Marina Green are all decked out with lights, etc.
