Holiday Cheers!
Take a good look around our part of the world tonight, and you will totally get into the Spirit of the Season.
This afternoon and early evening,  I attended a few local community holiday events, and wanted to share these special photos and memories with all of you.


Seen below are pics from the Christmas Holiday Dinner and Pagent at the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints located next door to Cerritos City Hall and Library.  Cerritos community leader Drema Lanz was responsible for decorating the inside of the Church for a dinner celebration tonight that will host around 500 local community members.  The decorations are some of the best I have ever seen here in Cerritos, and the attention to detail is amazing.







I also drove by the Houston Street area of La Palma tonight and this neighborhood has once again out did themselves by Deckin' ALL of the HALLS and STREETS in this special community.  My favorite scenes included snowmen in swim suits. Yep this really is sunny Southern California Christmas Stylin'.

I also had a wonderful time at the Home of Cerritos Mayor Pro-Tem Joseph Cho and his beautiful wife Lucy (their son Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Tony Cho was also there), and many friends and community leaders.


Seen tonight at the Cho's Holiday Party were Cerritos Sheriff's  Captain Joe Gonzales, Hawaiian Gardens Mayor Victor Farfan (what a nice guy, it was wonderful talking with him), Councilman Mike Gomez and his wife, and HG Mayor Pro Tem Michi Canada, Cerritos Commissioners Nick Kim, Alon Barlevey, Ken Cha,  Julietta Williams, and Cindy Yen Chen, along with my longtime friend, and Cerritos community leader Angel Soto.

I also saw a newly married husband and wife getting their wedding photos taken in the Sculpture Garden at Cerritos Civic Center at sunset. They looked fantastic and were all beaming ear to ear.   While I was watching them...it hit me...this truly is the most magical time of the year.
