A host of celebrations and activities give locals plenty to be excited about. In case you missed it, check out this photo gallery of holiday happenings around town.

The Christmas season arrived just in the “Nick” of time for locals of all ages last week with the onset of seemingly endless seasonal events and merriment. The granddaddy of the events was the 33rd annual Ocean Beach Holiday Parade, spotlighting area floats, bands, music and the essence of OB.

Of course, there was plenty for the younger crowd to take part in over the last week, including local schoolchildren decorating the community Christmas tree on the beach at the foot of Abbott Street.
