2010 Christmas

Merry Christmas. Every family has their holiday traditions. These annual routines may be ridiculous but are another reason why Christmas is my favorite holiday. This Christmas we celebrated our annual gluten free Christmas eve dinner at my sister's house in Point Loma. We put on the National Lampoon Christmas Vacation movie and reminisced about past Christmas holidays. I got my annual Christmas morning surf with my dad and cooked up a pancake breakfast using the as seen on TV perfect pancake pan. It was another successful Helmer Family Christmas.

Christmas is my favorite holiday. We celebrated Christmas for the whole month of December around my house. We got a Christmas tree, decorated the house, and I had a fire going in the fireplace almost every night. The cool crisp air, ambiance of the fire, and aroma of the xmas tree set the atmosphere for the month.

Ocean Beach also puts on an annual Christmas parade and the whole neighborhood seems to hit the street for the event. The Christmas parade and neighborhood spirit reminded me a lot of the holiday parade in Santa Barbara.
