Day Five: California Christmas

Christmas Eve! Since my mother didn't have to work, we decided to take advantage of the returning nice weather and head down to the beach. It was really pretty and really sad at the same time. Due to the storm, there was so much trash on the beach. Lots of balls and shoes and bottles and junk. So, we just walked down and back. Wasn't any shopping areas down there like there is at the Venice Beach. I kind of hoped there would be, but there wasn't. So much for last minute Christmas shopping! Later on, my brother, Wilder, and his girlfriend, Barb, came over for dinner and to bake some sugar cookies. After everyone left, Gizmo and I got ready for bed and got ready for Santa to come!!
