One thing we like to do during Christmas is go look at the Christmas lights around town here in the Bay Area. One of the quintissential sites for this is the Mormon Temple in Oakland. It is all decked out with a lighted plaza and palm trees and beautiful star. They also do nightly concerts of Christmas music each night during the season at 7 and 8pm. I snapped some pictures on my iphone there tonight to share. Behind the cut.

I am still sick and the sore throat lingers. I do have to go to work tomorrow but am armed with a bag of homeopathic remedies--vitamin C, throat spray, more lozenges and tea. Ugh.

Good night all and thanks, as always, for reading.

Last night we went to the first festive happening of the season in SF. They do the start with the lighting of the tree at the Hyatt Regency at the Embarcadero. They also put on the lights that edge the skyscrapers there and that is pretty cool to see. We had a nice dinner at a new-to-us restaurant we found there. I forgot to get the card so I cannot remember the name. It was right near the Hyatt. Good food.

I have a pictorial of what it was like inside the Hyatt. They do a HUGE Christmas village and have lights hanging down from the ceiling. Very beautiful. The Gay Men's Chorus sang and that was a lot of fun too.

( Pics this way... )

I am getting out my Christmas stuff tomorrow and starting to decorate. Woot. Move over Turkey day, it is all about Crimmas! Yays! I will also be lighting the Menorah again this year and will keep you posted on the Jewish activities too. Cannot forget that.

I love this time of year!

So, it was a good day. I got a new rug (pic not working on my mobile site so I will post it another time) and did some shopping. I got some good bargoons on sale items.

One the way home we stopped at the Mormon Temple in Oakland, CA. I did not know this but they decorate it each year with a spectacular display of lights. In the center is a nativity scene but I did not get pics of that. Cha.

How lovely, eh? The best lights of the year, right there. Just wanted to share.

Good night and sleep well all of you.

Over and out.
