Silver Bells... Silver Bells...

... It's Christmas time in the city!

Sort of.

For the last few years, Dolly has taken the initiative to reserve spots on one of the trolley tours of homes in Santa Barbara decorated for Christmas. The trolley tours are good times-- I went last year and had a lot of fun. There are so many of us, we could easily fill up one of the trolleys with just the Family.

The tours start at the beach, near Stearn's Wharf at Cabrillo. You can usually grab some hot apple cider for the ride, provided by the people who put on the tour. When the bells ring, it's all aboard and the tour begins. The tour goes through Hidden Valley (off of Las Positas), near Cathedral Oaks/Foothill Road neighborhoods, and finishes off with a romp through the Eastside.

Last years attendees, if memory serves correct: Gramma Connie, Tyvador, Uncle Junior, Rosanna, Larry, Sonia, Neveah, Malea (I think?), Mikey, Big Mike, Renee, Raquel, Ryan, the Triplets (Victoria, David and Jessica), Paul, Tommy, Dolly, Bill, Marisa, Michelle, and David. Afterwards, we all went over to visit Monica and Bob for even more good times.

Dolly left a message with me saying, "Money talks and bullshit walks!" She'll be making reservations soon, and she'll be collecting money for the tickets, as well. Here's Dolly's contact info:
