This year the Illumination Foundation held their annual Holiday Party at Pretend City Children's Museum in Orange County. Having never been there, I was shocked at how awesome this museum is. If you have kids, take them there. It is a 6 year old dream come true. You can play mailman, artist, banker, fire fighter, police man, farmer, chef.... The city is fully functional - you do a job and get a stamp, the stamp gets you money from the ATM, then you can buy things, such as food from the store.
The foundation hosted the event, as well as dinner, and brought in a Santa Clause, who gave the children donated gifts. The charity aims to help homeless families get back on their feet. To find out more please visit their website at
