The 51st annual La Jolla Christmas Parade kicked off at 2 p.m. Dec. 7 with plenty of Christmas spirit. Those watching the parade had a chance to see classic cars, hand-crafted floats, dogs, horses and even a camel. The parade was followed by Holiday Festival 2008 and the Christmas tree lighting at the La Jolla Rec Center.
