Whatever Holidays you celebrate, you’ll find lots of fun to do in Los Angeles on Christmas Day!
Christmas
It’s that time of year – time for LA parents to pile the family in the car and go out and get a Christmas tree. But instead of driving around searching for the “perfect tree,” we’re here to help with a list of 10 Great Christmas Tree Lots in and Around Los Angeles.
Here in Southern California, we can celebrate the holidays at the beach and the mountains (even on the same day), but if you’re looking for something near the shore, we suggest a boat parade! Families can enjoy several annual Christmas Boat Parades and Holiday Boat Parades that are scheduled throughout the month of December.
Christmas means family. And families must eat. But if you’d rather not spend hours in the kitchen, there are plenty of restaurants all around Los Angeles that will be open Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day and that make lovely settings for memorable family holiday meals.
As the air grows crisper and the nights longer, a wave of festive excitement sweeps through Southern California. ‘Tis the season when the Los Angeles transforms into a winter wonderland, and the famed shopping malls and fabulous hotels and resorts across the region come alive with the magic of Christmas and holiday cheer.
Depending on the age of the children in your family, you may not be able to wait for midnight to celebrate the New Year. And in Southern California, that’s no problem. There are lots of family-friendly ways to celebrate the New Year!
Before the kids get too involved with their holiday wish lists, help them remember that this is the season of giving. Here are seven suggestions for ways to get involved, give back, and help make this holiday season a little brighter for others.
Hey, want to head to the Mall? Fight traffic, hunt for parking, and wait in long lines at the stores? Neither did we. So this year MomsLA wanted to support some local businesses that are making amazing, unique gifts right here in Los Angeles.
Christmas dinner can be fun and fancy, and let’s face it — it can be a lot of work, too. So why not give yourself a gift this year and get takeout? We’re not talking about fast food. Many terrific restaurants in Los Angeles are offering their signature meals to go.
The holiday season is approaching, and during this festive time we think it’s important to stop and think about how we can help others. Everywhere we look, we all see so many people in need these days. Volunteer and you can make a difference.
