Westlake -- out near the water.\n\nInn of the Seventh Ray, up on Old Topanga Canyon.  (Better have some designated drivers...)\n\nDescanso Gardens (out near Pasadena).\n\nThat's all I can think of now... I haven't lived in the Valley since 1988 (but I was married there!  A simple ceremony in my wife's parents' house in Northridge...)

I would start with the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce. The might have info on holiday food,clothing and toy functions that your friend may qualify for. Also as far as the utilities go, see if your friend qualifies for asistance from the companies themselves. Down here in L.A. we can receive discounts on our bills if we qualify. I also did not think that by law, certain utilities, like heat, could be turned off in a home if there were children living there. Your friend really needs some help. Good Luck!

This was the first year that I did not fly out of state to visit friends and family for the week of Thanksgiving.  Instead, I stayed home, cleaned house, slept, worked, and went Christmas Shopping at 5am on Friday.\n\nI really enjoyed myself by myself.\n\nP.S.  Did not cook one things on Thanksgiving !  However, it was very pleasing.

Food - everything is good, my fav is Sam Wo's in china town on Grant st. and big buck Sung Hung Huen (sp) right off grant and Wash st\nMake sure to take a cable car ride - you can make a whole night of it - going to all the neat spots, rest & pubs.\nBeaches there are not impresive\nGo to big sur or to wine country Sonoma napa Valley\nKamping is pretty cool up by Mt Tam (mt tamapilis) and the Russian River and if you can't drive all the way to big sur then at least drive from Pacifica to Half Moon Bay\nAnd, of course, one day and evening in Sausalito (eve) and Belvadere (day).\nGosh what fond memories this brings back... peace love cough\nThank You for the great question

The Honeybaked ham co in your area is the best place.  As far as long beach, call around to the churches, ect as well.

Pasadena has Eaton Canyon which is pretty secluded and quite beautiful.  There used to be a peaceful little stream with a little pond and waterfall that I used to hike back to.  I think it was called Miller Lake and Cheney Falls.  It was really neat too because you follow along the creek and all of the sudden it ends at the falls.  I think it is up near JPL and there is a campground.

Hang out at the bookstore, coffee shops.  Join a book-reading club.  Go on a singles cruise.  Take a group led hike to yosemite for a few days.  Church, if that is your interest.

petco park, how about a hot air balloon over the temecula valley wine region,or a gondola ride out of long beach. rent a room with a jucuzzi in it,you could have dinner delivered,set the table,candles,flowers,etc,set the mood! what could be better no phones,nobody knocking on your door except for the food of course. and then its just relax-relax no curfews,no parents!!
