Christmas Alone in The City

I attempted to capture some of the San Francisco holiday season spirit over Christmas weekend and throughout December. I also talk about holiday movies and the lesson I learn from spending Christmas alone.

Great video 👍 The holidays are such a wonderful time here in San Francisco as seen in this video. We definitely share some commonalities mentioned, and exploring this beautiful iconic city around this time is not a bad thing, but rather a wonderful reflective time that should be celebrated 😀 😊 👍💯

I sort of agree with your take on Christmas and holidays being consumeristic but I would also say that humans have been celebrating Christ’s birthday for centuries so it does root from a tradition, and not purely marketing. That being said I still think it’s a good thing because humans need something to look forward to. Even if the holidays aren’t the best for everyone, we desire change and things to keep our lives interesting so I think in that way it’s a positive thing. I enjoy your vids man, moving to SF in a couple weeks and I appreciate your balanced and unembellished take on the city 🌉

I think Batman Returns was the first movie in theaters I ever went to. At least that I remember seeing. I actually have a Christmas flick list tradition:
Home Alone
Die Hard
The Santa Clause
The Muppet Christmas Carol
1988 NFC Champ game 49ers at Bears

Thanks for the holiday work on this video. Question, since you were out - you went by a big church with two spires - What church is that? You're kind of my virtual SFO tour guide. Merry Christmas Raymond!

Saints Peter and Paul Church
