Christmas comes to Julian
every year in an old-fashioned way that will make you picture sleigh
rides, chestnuts roasting on open fires, and Jack Frost painting the
whole town white.
That may be a bit of a dream.
But due to its Cuyamaca Mountains location, the holiday time in Julian
gets closer to that dream than most spots in Southern California. You’ll
feel a nip in the air, sniff wood fires, and maybe catch a glimpse of
snow capped mountains surrounding town.
The holiday season in Julian
also offers an opportunity to shop at small boutiques and craft shows,
without crowds or lines, for one-of-a-kind gifts.
Wynola Junction Antiques &
Collectibles Christmas store is open year round with new, vintage, old
and rare ornaments and decorations.
You can enjoy Julian’s holiday ambiance from Thanksgiving weekend through early January. Following are some scheduled activities that will add joy to your experience. Also check the Julian Events Calendar at www.julianevents.org for more current information. Country Christmas Tree Lighting
Julian kicks off the holiday
season on Nov. 28 with the annual lighting of the town’s huge living
Christmas tree, presented by the Julian Merchants Association. This is a
popular event, drawing hundreds of visitors who gather at Pioneer Park
to watch the lighting and visit with Santa. Festivities start at 4:00
pm with the tree lighting promptly at 6:00 pm.

Cottage Arts daily Dec. 8 through Dec. 23, these parties are all lace
