It’s often said that the Spirit of the holiday season is what makes this time of year special, but how many lights did the Spirit hang on your house this year?
It’s the people that make this time of year so joyous, and through their compassion and joy comes the Holiday Spirit that we’re all so fond of. This year, the people of Long Beach came together (as they always do) to make it a truly special time of year, and photographer extraordinaire Diana Lejins was on scene throughout the city. Enjoy her collection of holiday faces, and check back tomorrow for her collection of holiday places.
