Earlier today, I drove to the Pasadena Convention Center to attend Christmas Con...which is an entertainment expo where scores of actors and actresses who regularly appear in holiday films (aired mostly on the Hallmark Channel) gather to meet, sign autographs and take pictures with the fans.
As shown below, I went to this event specifically for photo ops with Danica McKellar (still best known as Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years, and also had roles in other TV shows like The Big Bang Theory) and Lacey Chabert (who appeared in such movies as 1998's Lost in Space and 2004's Mean Girls, as well as the FOX TV series Party of Five).
Lacey Chabert was originally the only celebrity who I wanted to meet at Christmas Con. This expo was supposed to occur back in July of 2020 (I ordered my tix for Lacey's photo op session in February of that year), but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In these photos, that Christmas tree between me and these two beautiful actresses served as a safety barrier. Danica is set to shoot another film soon, so that tree obviously provided a subtle but jolly way of social distancing from her fans. Ditto with Lacey.
So will I go to Christmas Con 2023, you ask? Probably. There are a few other lovely actresses who I would like to meet next year that I couldn't afford to get pictures with today, so I might attend this event again! Also, Pasadena (assuming the California venue for this expo won't change in 2023) is a great city. The parking sucks in most areas of Pasadena, but it's a great city!
Hope y'all are having a nice weekend.
