As usual, on Fridays, I’m researching things to do on the weekends in San Diego to bring our community, locals, and visitors together. The beautiful thing about this city, is that there is always something to do here. However, upon my searches, I found that we are not waiting for Christmas, it’s already here. So this is All Things Christmas Friday. If you’re not about Black Friday shopping and looking for more of a shared family experience, look no further than the list I’ve made for you.
