Christmas Eve

Above, yours truly and cousin Maria on Christmas Eve.

The rainy weather we've been having for the past few days broke yesterday, which made for a fine Christmas Eve at my cousin Maria's in Wildomar in the Lake Elsinore area.

The drive, to and from, was one of the easiest.  It took an hour and a half to get to Maria's.  The same goes for the drive home in the San Fernando Valley.

The Lindbergh Beacon atop Los Angeles City Hall was lit up last night, although I almost missed it as fog set in at the L.A. Civic Center.
