A Very Jolly Day

Attended the 26th Annual Swedish Christmas Fair at the Hollywood Palladium. Highlights included the Lucia Pageant pictured here and some excellent meatballs.

With the spirit of Christmas upon us we headed towards the city of Pico Rivera, home to Lyon's Christmas tree farm. Nested beneath enormous powerlines off the 710 freeway, this is one of the surrealist places in the city. The sign says "start a family tradition" but according to the owner, Lyon's tree farm will be no more after this season.



We picked out the cheapest and smallest tree we could find. Lesli thought it was cute and Avery seemed to agree. The farm owner laughed when I presented him with our Charlie Brown tree saying, "I guess someone had to buy it".
Sure it's small but so is our place and looking at the tree right now, I think it's just fine.
