It's hard to imagine celebrating Christmas in LA: the sun shining brightly, the temperature a pleasant 70 degrees, shorts and flip-flops traipsing along the palm tree-laden streets, but nevertheless, we shall try. Even though it may not seem particularly Christmas-y on the Left Coast, they sure know how to shop. Should you find yourself dining at Toast on Third Street enjoying a temperate December day, we've got you covered for an afternoon of credit card damage.
