In California everything is different. The ocean is on the other side, there are mountains and hills, the weather is warm during the day and downright chilly at night, it's the surfer capital of the world (alright, maybe Hawaii is), it's the home of the movies, and the place where countless careers, corps, and trends start and end. It's also the place where Christmas trees can be seen made out of driftwood. In La Conchita, where I live, the community collects driftwood from our own semi-private beach and creates a neighborhood tree which we put up in the middle of town. This is the first year I've been able to take part in this tradition and I feel honored to be a part of this unique tradition.
Merry Christmas California Style!
