“The winter solstice has always been special to me as a barren darkness that gives birth to a verdant future beyond imagination, a time of pain and withdrawal that produces something joyfully inconceivable, like a monarch butterfly masterfully extracting itself from the confines of its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory.” – Gary Zukav

With winter here but holiday season over in Los Angeles, you may be lost regarding keeping yourself entertained, especially if you’re forced to stay in your apartments because of the unusually cold weather. There’s a lot you can do this winter in Los Angeles if you decide to indulge in a few days in your apartments, such as reading a new book, listening to some jazz, or getting into the spirit of writing.

If staying in too long gives you cabin fever, you can always find yourself a cozy bookstore or a bar (like Dublin’s on 7th and Figueroa) to spend a couple hours in with a friend or alone. If you’re interested in exploring an event that has more than a handful of people to meet some new friends, check out Eventbrite.

Don’t let the cold get to you! There’s a lot to do this winter season in Los Angeles. How will you keep yourself entertained?
