My cousins and I woke up early this day to catch the annual Christmas Day sale. As early as 7:30am, we braved the streets of downtown San Francisco to be first in line when the shops open. I was a bit hesitant to join my cousins that day because I had limited cash and they were ready to splurge big time. I ended up buying only one thing: a pair of BCBG flats, which was sold for only USD $19.00 after all the reductions.
About 9:30am, I hurriedly went back to our hotel to meet up with my parents and siblings because we were set to attend mass at St. Mary's Cathedral. It felt good that we were still able to hear mass as a family on Christmas Day. We met so many Pinoys in the church.
After mass, we walked to Yerba Buena Garden just across the cathedral. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is also in the same vicinity. It offers West Coast's finest selection of modern and contemporary art books, design objects and furniture, among other things.
There were lots of random statues and public art in Yerba Buena Garden.
We had lunch at a classic American diner. While walking, we saw Jollibee and Red Ribbon outlets! What a surprise!
After our late lunch, we took the tram to Alamo Square, a residential neighborhood with lovely, colorful houses.
For Christmas day dinner, all 20 of us went to Chinatown and ate at R&G Restaurant, said to be the best Chinese restaurant in the city.
We walked back to our hotel that night because we were so full after dinner.
