Flickr member San Diego Images took this shot early Christmas morning at San Diego's Chrystal Pier.
Despite the proceeding week's rain, Christmas day brought sunshine and mild temperatures - typical San Diego weather. Here are some images, all taken in San Diego and mostly by locals, of how the holidays played out in our little corner of So Cal.
If you have some photos of San Diego gone holiday, please send them to me at acarone@kpbs.org. I might feature them on the blog. And don't forget Chanukah and Kwanzaa (which started yesterday).
