Shopping

What are the holidays without presents?

Whether you’re looking for unique seasonal decorations or a special gift to show someone how much you care, Paramount is the perfect place to be with its abundance of shopping centers.

Entering their store will give you full access to a massive collection of the greatest merchandise.

Opportunities to Serve

There are ways to give that don’t involve presents. If you have the means or the time during this special time of year, consider giving to those less fortunate than you so they too can feel the joy of this winter season. Here are some great volunteer opportunities in and around Paramount, CA, this year:

Winter Wonderland: TOY DRIVE: This toy drive really focuses on the spirit of giving, with free toys, haircuts, health screenings, ice rink, activities for kids, and more. The event is free and open to all, so if you or anyone you know is struggling this holiday season, invite them to Be Social Productions’ toy drive and join the spirit of giving!

City Electric Chili Cook-Off and Toy Drive: Come and gather together for some delicious chili and holiday giving! All toys will be donated to Toys for Tots to help create a positive and joyful memory for those in need during Christmas 2023. Come and volunteer or put your cooking skills to the test for a great, entertaining, feel-good experience where you have the opportunity to help those less fortunate than you are!

Christmas Together 2023: Christmas Together will be distributing 30,000 toys and creating an unforgettable experience for children to enjoy. This experience will include carnival rides and games, raffles, entertainment, a picture with Santa, holiday meals, and a variety of food options—all for free! Quantity is limited, so register soon!

Did you know that the holiday season is when candle stores see their biggest boom in sales? Everyone loves a good pine-scented candle this time of year, but you must be careful when enjoying this seasonal scent. Did you know that up to 7,400 fires are started each year because of household candles? Consider using battery-powered candles to achieve the same ambiance without the added danger. Whatever you do, never leave your holiday candles unattended!

Christmas trees can be another fire hazard this time of year. If you’re one of the many Americans who can’t go without a real Christmas tree display in your apartment during the holiday season, then just make sure you keep it watered! Dry pine needles are extra flammable. Keep all open flames, such as candles, away from the branches, and make sure you turn all lights off when you’re not at home. Stay safe and enjoy the holidays!

With so much to do in Paramount, CA, you’re sure to make many lasting memories this holiday season. Take advantage of the local activities, shows and performances, shopping, and opportunities to serve, and be safe while celebrating. From all of us at Four Seasons Apartments in Paramount, CA, Happy Holidays!
