December has always been
an exciting month for our family on Loma Ave. Our family connection to Jingle
Bells (Mom being the great granddaughter of James Lord Pierpont, author of
Jingle Bells) always generates that little extra spark of excitement and magic
for us around the holiday season.
Mom would certainly
never boast about our family connection to Jingle Bells, but her joyous and
infectious smile, and her yearly, Jingle Bells themed holiday decorations hinted
she's at least a little proud of her place in the family tree.
Each December, jingle
bells hang on the front door, announcing the arrival and departure of all
visitors with a happy jangle. We even had a door chime that played Jingle Bells
until the well used winding mechanism finally expired.
Coronado and San Diego
Offer Holiday Frolic
The City of Coronado
kicks off the holiday spirit boost in early December, dressing each and every
Orange Avenue pine tree in a coat of colorful lights. Follow Orange Avenue
along this sparkling, seasonal path and walk or bike to The Old Ferry Landing
to enjoy the festive city skyline, often doubled in reflection on the glassy
waters of San Diego Bay. On the way, be sure to stop by Cafe 1134 or
Starbucks to pick up your favorite holiday hot toddy.
Within days of the tree
lighting tradition, pedestrians take charge of a Orange Avenue to stroll
amongst holiday parade goers and in to quaint and cozy shops during merchant's
open house. Young and old are thrilled to see Santa arrive by fire engine
to oversee lighting of the "big tree", the tallest holiday tree
you'll likely ever see!
These are just a few
examples of holiday activities our family has had the good fortune to enjoy
while living on Loma Avenue. A multitude of musical, theatrical and
artistic events await you, just outside your front door. This small but strong
community has provided cross-cultural experiences to expand our minds, excite
our imaginations and grow our hearts.
We love this home and
our wish is to
partner with a special
buyer who appreciates this opportunity to own a beautiful, master-crafted house
in an absolutely ideal beachside location. We hope you love this home
too, so bring your aesthetic vision, your sense of adventure and your good
walking shoes. Stroll the neighborhood, take a walk on the beach of this
seaside town we call "our little slice of heaven". It's your
turn to build your own precious traditions and enduring memories within these
walls.
