Holiday Spirit San Diego Style




There is so much going on in the San Diego area in the next month, it would take much too long to tell you about everything. So, since I'm trying to help you save money in these difficult times, I'll tell you about some of the free events you can attend in the next month, and a few that are very inexpensive. In any event, regardless of your religious affiliation, or lack thereof, December is a wonderful time to enjoy the lights, parades, wonderful food, and visits with friends and family. Here are a few ideas of things to do.

December 4-8 Annual Head to Toe Women's Expo. This is a one stop shop for women, featuring inspiring speakers, cooking demos, over 250 exhibits, free massages, health checks, and stages with the latest trends in hair and fashion. I went last year. I had a 15 minute mini facial, an osteoporosis bone scan, and cholesterol check, all for free. Tickets are $8 adult, $7 senior, but check the UT for discount coupons.

December 4-5 Balboa Park December Nights. San Diego's favorite kick-off to the holiday season takes place over two days. In the spirit of the holidays, participating museums open their doors free of charge from 5:00-9:00pm. Go to http://www.blogger.com/www.balboapark.org for more information.

December 10 Blue Christmas Holiday Event. A special night of free entertainment throughout many fabulous Gaslamp locations with performances by blues, rock and Rand B musicians and much more. 8pm-midnight. For information, contact http://www.gaslamp.org/.
