The East Side recs are popping but even as an East Sider, I must admit: It’s nice to see the beach on Christmas. Go to Malibu bc it’s worth it, Little Dume is my favorite but you have to scramble. It’s a cold beach in December but that is its own type of magic and you can still get burned so wear sunscreen.
I would stop in Topanga at Cafe 27 if you make the trip - prices are a little high but the view is worth it. Make a reservation so you don’t have to wait.
I am going to see the Stars Hallow sets with Christmas lights on the Warner Brothers Studio tour. You can also got to Hogsmeade for a butter beer at Universal Studios, if you’re into that.
The mountains are nice that time of year - you can go skiing at Mt. Baldy or just hike in Angeles National Forest.
Catch a holiday puppet show at Bob Baker’s Marionette Theater in Highland Park.
See a movie at Vidiots or The New Beverly.

Driving PCH early morning
Any beach in the early morning
Getting out there and taking your turn at unprotected lefts after the light turns red (in general, people are okay with allowing two cars to do this)
A general recommendation is to be very generous in your estimation of how long it takes to get places and how hard it will be to find parking. Assume the worst, then double it.

Idk about underrated bc i feel like everyone knows la but some of my favorite things are larchmont village (grew up going here. super walkable, rip the blockbuster), tamales liliana’s (good/predictable mexican food; mostly just convenient/reliable spot to get tamales), ballona creek bike path (can rent city bikes at the beach and ride through from culver city to redondo), the getty museum is goated, and the central american food scene is tight in mid city too (mostly speaking in terms of the guatamalan dishes bc thats where i grew up going, gonna gate keep the name of my favorite breakfast spot bc it gets packed as is but hint: it’s on washington and western)

1) i don’t need to be on the lookout for bugs. not my problem
2) it almost is like replicating the feeling of the womb?
3) i am just constantly so overstimulated so like instead having to Seek stimulation (via the shower water, reaching around for my shampoo and stuff) is really nice
