Tanya and I decided to take a drive around Torrance last night, and check out the Christmas lights in some of the smaller neighborhoods. Not every area is going to be as dressed up as the Sleepy Hollow area of Torrance, but it seemed that any street you turn on will have several homes decorated …

Mooneye’s annual Christmas party includes a custom car show and drag races. Probably the coolest part of the drag races is that the cars are all pre-1969.

This time of year people like to give other people stuff. I guess I can appreciate it to some extent, but at some point, don’t we have enough stuff? To be honest, I think most of my friends and relatives really have enough stuff, so I try to find something a little different to give. …
Back in the day, when I was married, I liked to do my Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve. I am not really sure why that is. The fact of the matter is that I have never been a big fan of Christmas, so I guess I just like the pressure. Maybe I just enjoy watching …
Yes, this non-stop rain and wind is taking its toll on some of the neighbors Christmas decorations. We are supposed to have two more days of this stuff, so we will see who puts up the most durable decorations. My photo of the day is of Buddy checking on the welfare of a local Christmas …
