There’s something extra charming about Christmas in a coastal city.

This year Christmas really snuck up on me! Our Elf on a Shelf usually makes his first appearance the day after Thanksgiving. But this year he magically arrived sometime in mid December. 
This Sunday we are going to see Disney’s A Christmas Carol at the El Capitan Theatre. Besides the movie, there is a short live action play and then afterward we get to tour the “behind the scenes” museum. It should be a fun Christmas outing for the 6 of us.
