You all know the song from Beatles John Lennon... Happy Christmas!

So this is Christmas

And what have you done

Another year over

And a new one just begun...

Then Band Aid? Do they know it's Christmas time! The lyrics

It's Christmastime; there's no need to be afraid

At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade

And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy

Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime!

And It's the most wonderful time of the year

With the kids jingle belling

And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

The city walk/hike we will be walking around the city to check out the City Landmarks and Christmas lights, roughly 8-12 miles and 1000 feet elevation gain with hills and stairs and hills and stairs steps after steps after steps, etc...

and stairs and more stairs so this will be a workout for some of us. If you can't keep up with our veterans trail warriors or the distance, you can either walk by yourself or uber or bus so we have plenty of options for your escape plan just in case!

Or this song from Tim Hockenberry.... Christmas By the Bay...

Yes, it's Christmas by the bay The city sparkles now As the carols start to play It's Christmas by the bay Candles glow, and our hearts are light In a most familiar way Where the stores are decorated And a chill is in the air We'll be holding hands together By the tree in Union Square For it's Christmas by the bay A time to celebrate In the San Francisco way It's Christmas by the bay I'm with you in my favorite place On my favorite holiday Please brings: Positive attitudes, Necessary Gears, layered clothing and water, snacks, food, etc...
