Row romantically into the sunset and away from the cruel world of infrastructure, technology, and mediocre horse medicine. For $25, today’s Groupon gets you a Huntington Harbor Holiday Paddle from OEX Sunset Beach. Ignore holiday walking and holiday walk-jogging as paddling becomes your new choice of holiday mobility.

Every winter the locals scattered about Huntington Harbor decorate their homes with fanciful lights and eye-pleasing ornamentations in hopes of attracting the beneficent midnight gift-givers who, according to ancient lore, would sprinkle good will and festive trinkets on the doormats of attractive houses. OEX Sunset Beach lets you witness the beautiful arrangements from a kayak on the water. From December 1 through December 30 at approximately 5 p.m. (departure is just after sunset), take yourself or yourself and your family out for a 1.5-hour guided maritime adventure through the harbor and soak in the resplendent views as the sun sets. To sate cocoa-addicted travelers, the journey begins with a complimentary mug of hot chocolate.

Designed for every level of experience, the paddling passage across the harbor follows a guided and predetermined route and the basics of paddling and safety instructions are explained. The relaxing voyage will burn the shapes and configurations of lovely light arrangements into your holiday state of mind. Gather your family members for a festive holiday excursion that also teaches valuable rowing techniques they will thank you for when the water levels rise and we must all return to the sea. Remember to dress warmly.

If Santa Is Real, I Hope He Takes Me with Him

Today's Groupon not only gives you a unique view of the holiday-lighted harbor, but also might give you a glimpse of Mr. Santa P. Claus making one of his numerous pre-Christmas Eve practice runs above the harbor. Or will you perhaps spy Santa and his team of reindeer diving deep below the water's surface to his secret underwater North Pole where mermaids entertain him and toys are made by mer-elves? Would you complain if Santa, alerted that you had spied his submerged kingdom, invited you to live with him and to be a part of his experimental Human Labor Force? Can you imagine the delight of stitching Navy-style peacoats for 17 hours a day in exchange for milk, cookies, and the promise of seeing your family again if you work hard enough? Could you awaken your childhood sense of wonder to the possibility that magic is real? Will you believe when Santa says, "Your old freedom was an illusion."? Good luck, Santa!
