Not being with my parents and Sandy today feels weird (Merry Christmas, you guys), but we’re still having fun here at home. Yesterday, for example, we got in the holiday spirit by going to Union Square to watch the shoppers and ice-skaters and to check out the giant tree and menorah.

And what’s the best thing about being in San Francisco at Christmastime – aside from the weather? So few people are here, and parking spots are a-plenty! I had to chuckle in agreement when I came across this quote in the New York Times from someone who lives here:

I love to park and unpark hundreds of times in the Mission District. Nothing is more fun than driving down the street parking — and unparking — in the thousands of open parking spots. I marvel at it every year, as in no one is ‘from’ San Francisco, and all the hipsters empty out to visit family in Cleveland.
