I love the Christmas season...especially in the warmth that San Diego county offers!! ;)
I done the Boise cold for a little while and thank you but just to visit... of course I miss the Hawaiian style Christmas but Carlsbad isn't bad at all in between the two extremes!
Last year, some friends decided to introduced me to an amazing event called Balboa Park December Nights, it's only 2 night a year, this Friday the 2sd and Saturday the 3rd, that's all folks!
You will find food and drinks from all over the worlds, a large fair and plenty of fun filled animation, even a full orchestra with choir and Christmas stories. It is worth it! And it's FREE to go, so what are you waiting for?
Needless to say that we'll go tonight and I may post some "live" photos to share with you if you cannot make it.
One more perk for living in San Diego county!

Balboa Park December Nights
Balboa Park December Nights, the nation’s premier holiday festival, will take place for the 34th consecutive year on Friday, Dec. 2, 5-10pm, and Saturday, Dec. 3, noon-10pm. As always, the event brings families and friends together to spread holiday joy, learn more about the cultural value of Balboa Park and kick-off the “most wonderful time of the year.”
Participating Balboa Park museums open their doors free of charge from 5-9 pm both evenings and more than 300,000 visitors are expected to experience the joy of San Diego’s largest free community festival. Those who attend will participate in a truly multicultural experience, enjoying food, music and entertainment from around the world.
Revelers can watch top-notch musical and dance performances, enjoy delicious and diverse food choices and help spread a heavy dose of holiday cheer. Some of the more well-known traditions include food from around the globe at the International Christmas Festival at the House of Pacific Relations Cottages; the annual Santa Lucia Procession at the Plaza de California; unique gift shopping at the museum stores and with the artisans of Spanish Village; and musical and dance presentations from the San Diego Junior Theatre, San Diego Civic Youth Ballet, Del Cerro Baptist’s Christmas Story Tree, and more.
