Winter Gratitude: What we have. What we can give.

/

Tuesday might mark the official Winter Solstice, but we’re already feeling the season’s first chill. That’s why we’re grateful for the roof over our heads and the hot cup of cocoa in our hands, and we pause to offer comfort to those who are not so fortunate this time of year.

Please consider donating to a local charity doing good things in your community. If you need suggestions, the Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits put together this guide.

Chic's Picks: Holiday Fun in Silicon Valley

/

We don’t know about you, but this pandemic has us missing live theater, music, and other arts and cultural activities. That’s why we’re excited to see the return of holiday events that are sure to bring joy to the season. Palo Alto Weekly put together this list.

There are so many beautiful places in the Bay Area, and we feel so privileged to experience them. One of those places is the Filoli Historic House and Garden in Woodside. Earlier this week, we stopped by for Holidays at Filoli and wandered through a garden of sparkling lights.

These pictures can’t do it justice. We recommend seeing it for yourself. You’ll feel like you’re Alice in Wonderland! Get more info on the Filoli website.
