Christmas in San Francisco

What a lovely place to be
Seeing the hills being all lit up
Like a diamond Christmas tree
-Vic Damone, "Christmas in San Francisco"

Sorry for just quoting not only the cheesiest San Francisco Christmas song, but probably the cheesiest Christmas Song in general, but I just had to do it. I've had a few Christmas adventures this past month, including a tour of some of the famous and not quite as famous trees around the city, watching the "snow" fall in the Hyatt, caroling on the cable car (and then on the muni bus that acted in place of the cable car when it broke down), and just taking in all the festive decorations and music everyday to and from work. And as Christmas comes to an end, I have made the conclusion that no one has Christmas spirit like San Francisco.

I attempted to document this Christmas spirit, but being late in the afternoon as the sun went down, without my tripod and still without a wide-angle lens, I definitely did not do Christmas in San Francisco justice. Sorry, I did my best.

Wreaths covering the Macy's in Union Square...


My ride to and from work. How can I not get in the Christmas spirit?


Christmas balloons being sold in Union Square, cute?


My transfer point on my commute, the beautiful Ferry Building lit in red for the season.


Giant wreaths on a few of the piers. I think I love wreaths, unless they get glitter all over me.

Merry Christmas, and happy holidays!
