As a Midwest born & bred San Francisco transplant, I find the concept of Christmas without snow a bit confusing. Which may be why I haven’t been full of holiday cheer this year. In an effort to reverse this mood (before the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future come to get me), I spent a bit of time today looking up holiday-related activities in the city…so put on your Santa hats (or yarmulkes!) and get out there! Ho ho hooooooooo!

Holiday Ice Skating at the Embarcadero Center (there’s a rink!) through January 1 (10 a.m. – 10 p.m. on weekdays, open until 11:30 p.m. on weekends)

Visit Union Square to see the purty tree & decorations

Metreon Center Winterland…apparently they make snow there once/hour? I might have to see this in person.
