Fond memories of Christmases Past.
Couldn't resist this photo that was shared by Jose Sotela. "I miss the decorations that the city would put up during the holidays. As a child it just added to the magic of Christmas time. This shot is from 1950 looking east on Colorado from Los Robles."
Holiday Blessings....
