As soon as you have gobbled down your Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas festivities begin around Southern California. It takes all those weekends to fit in all the Christmas street parades, boat parades and processions that take place across LA and Orange Counties. To try to get a handle on the most important holiday happenings around town, I've put together a guide to Los Angeles Christmas Traditions, starting with the Hollywood Christmas Parade this Sunday. I obviously couldn't fit every yuletide activity on the calendar into one list, so stay tuned for more interesting festivities coming to the blog in the next few weeks.
