Christmas Traditions in L.A. 2012

What’s your favorite Los Angeles Christmas tradition? We asked eight past guests of the LA Foodie Podcast. Those stories are collected here for your enjoyment.

Do you remember this from last year? Since we’re all on Christmas Break (and taking some “me” time), we’re re-gifting our favorite segment from last year’s Christmas special. Feliz Navidad! A couple of things have changed since last year. For one, Elina Shatkin is now a Senior Editor at LA Magazine. And sadly, the hunky santas that Heather Thomson loves so much are not appearing at the Beverly Center this year. We also hear awesome Los Angeles Christmas stories from Jimmy Callahan, Paul Cibis, Liz Miller, Adam Campbell-Schmitt, Jude Shelton, and Patrick McGilligan.
