Holiday Digest is a years-long partnership between the Laguna Beach Independent and Third Street Writers. Members original stories, poems and essays reflect the angst, wonder and sometimes even joy of the holiday season in Laguna Beach. By David Watkin How the hell did I wind up dressed as a Pilgrim? I turn right off Pearl Street and pass Mozambique with a smile. I know exactly how. It all started in Ralphs parking lot.
Editor’s Note: The Independent is proud to continue its partnership with the Third Street Writers in publishing holiday-inspired stories by Orange County authors. By Arlene E. Bernholtz The knock on the door surprised me. I hadn’t expected any deliveries. I peeked through the curtain of my hotel room window and glanced out. Being cautious, I kept my door locked and never opened it without a window check to make sure no one unfamiliar was lurking outside.
By Arlene E. Bernholtz It was Christmas Eve and I was eagerly waiting to attend an annual tree trimming party. However, hubby Barry wasn’t feeling well, so insisted I go with my father who stayed with us during the holidays. I prepared hot apple cider for Barry, kissed him goodbye and reluctantly left him home with the children. It turned out to be a fun celebration. Eggnog and appetizers were enjoyed while we hung ornaments and lights.
