Christmas is one of those holidays that we just love. We love the part of giving and receiving, the sparkles in the eyes, the family traditions, the Christmas trees, from traditional ones, to – for example – our Baja native Torote or elephant tree. We love the cooking and the dining time, the festivities and all that this December time brings. Below are some of the activities we’ll be doing at Capella Pedregal this festive December. See also our Christmas gallery on Facebook.
