We were on the hunt for our Christmas tree last weekend. Let me tell you about Alhambra Christmas Tree Farm. Located at 2647 Reliez Valley Rd in Martinez. They have a pretty good selection! We were going back and forth between two. I like the location and there is beautiful golden hour light here as well. We brought a veteran (my dad who had a Christmas tree lot for a few years) and he showed Rhys the ways of picking out the best tree. I just love Rhys’ genuine reaction to my dad. He loves his grandpa so much, we all had a good time at the Alhambra Christmas tree farm. We picked out a 8-9 foot noble fir and they loaded it in the car.

Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Rhys and Mimi are in adorable Hanna Andersson Christmas gnome pajamas. Each year I order the next size up for Rhys and each year they continue this pattern, so we having been rocking the same print for 4 years now! We went up to Tahoe to visit with Mimi before shelter in place and got in some snuggles!
The Great Dickens Christmas Fair 2015
What a wonderful time of the year to visit a most joyous place. A place you can let go of your inner child and frolic the streets of whimsy London, set back in the 1800s. Only running for two more weekends, this San Francisco event is a favorite among locals. This is the Great Dickens Christmas Fair. To see all photos from the past 3 years, please the Dickens Album.
Grab a drink and discover the many treasures and things to do. A violinist will play you a beautiful song or teach you a thing or two about their craft.
Keep your eyes out for Santa Claus, you may catch him in his sleigh or roaming the streets bringing joy and merry to everyone he meets.
Get your fortune read at the Mystic and discover the many inventions of Professor Flockmocker's Laboratory in Ale House Alley. An electrical moon gun, no way!
I love the energy of the bar managers (above). Drink up, pay me. I still don't know if this was staged or if counting their cash with such confidence was just their personalities. Either way, well played. If you're not up for drinking, you can always reserve some tea time at Cuthbert's Tea Shoppe.
There is as much to do for adults as there is for children. Play your hand at a game. Visit the wand shop, remember the wand chooses you.
No Christmas Fair would be complete without a hair wreath. There are so many wonderful crafts brought to this fair by very talented artists. It is a treat to discover new gems.
