December-2023 Looking out the window here at Mountain View once again

20 Dec 2023

The magic month of December has arrived. Fall is still upon us with her beautiful colors and now those magic words: Christmas. Hanukkah. Presents. More presents. Cookies.
It was on again. They came. They saw. They paid their respects. It was our local Daughters of the Civil War. Boy Scout cadets. Our Altadena neighbors. It was the awesome Wreaths across America. That annual, national and local placement of holiday wreaths on the graves of our fallen Veterans. Thanks everybody, for making it such a special Saturday, December 16th.
During this Christmas season it may be time to visit our Mother Mausoleum on Marengo Avenue. It’s all there. Stained-Glass. Architecture. Paintings, and our History of Christianity ceiling fresco. Bring a friend. Bring your family. It will be an inspiring visit. Open Seven Days.
Our beautiful Mountain View Christmas tree is here so you know Santa Claus and his sleigh and reindeer must be on their way. Stop by our office and enjoy the crackling fire and our folksy Midwest style of holiday smiles and cheer.
Nothing says Christmas and Santa more than famed Americana artist Norman Rockwell. His illustrations and magazine covers remind one of simpler times. Here’s one of his all time best looks at the nostalgia of earlier days.

Altadena, Pasadena, The Rose Bowl Parade is only days away. Save a spot or two or three on Colorado Blvd for us. See you there. Have a Happy New Year 2024.

Till we look out the window here at Mountain View once again…
