Rancho Santa Fe, CA – Every year, we bundle up and venture into the heart of Rancho Santa Fe for one of the most fun and memorable Christmas experiences of all – The Fifteenth Annual Horizon North County Living Nativity. This event typically runs the last weekend prior to Christmas. This year it is Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday – December 17th through the 20th.

The event is free to all, and has fun for the entire family. They typically have a petting zoo and a mediterranean market place with hot chocolate, hot cider, bread, caramel apples, kabobs, etc. while you are waiting in line to enter the nativity. Then once you enter the gates, you will be guided through Jesus’ life – from Mary and Joseph going to Bethlehem for the census, through Christ’s death and resurrection.

Lines can be long – sometimes an hour or two wait, but it is worth it. But, this is a wonderful event to do with a group of friends. A couple of people can wait in the line, while others are out exploring the market place, and then you switch! I always really love the Horizon North County Living Nativity. The Living Nativity will be operating over the following hours at 6365 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe.

Thursday, December 17th -6 pm to 9 pm
Friday, December 18th – 6 pm to 9 pm
Saturday, December 19th – 5 pm to 9 pm
Sunday December 20th – 5 to 9 pm

Want Some San Diego Christmas Spirit? Try Ice Skating!

Having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit? When our weather is 70 and sunny, sometimes it is just hard to really believe that it is December and that Christmas is right around the corner. One of the things I used to do as a child in Indiana winters was to go ice skating. I remember on my first Christmas in San Diego, it was 2001, and warm! It wasn’t until going down to Horton Plaza one Friday night in December, and seeing the decorations and ice skaters, that it started to actually feel like Christmas!

If this is something you would enjoy doing this holiday season, there are a couple of great San Diego options:

From November 19 through January 10, 2010 – The Sycuan’s Fantasy On Ice will be happening in Horton Plaza. The price is $12 for adults and $10 for children. It includes session admission and skate rental. Each session runs about two hours and start at 10:00 am, 12:30 noon, 3:00 pm, 5:30 pm, 8:00 pm.

If you want to go down to Coronado, The Hotel Del’s Skating By The Sea has begun! Most sessions are 3 hour sessions (except the 11 am matinee session, which is 2 hours). The cost of admission and skate rental is $20 for adults and $15 for children. Please see The Hotel Del’s website for dates and times.
