Residents across the Bay Area spent Sunday preparing for weeks of staying in place with a last-minute rush to get in holiday shopping, a trip to the salon or a final meal at a restaurant, just hours before tougher new restrictions went into effect to help slow the latest COVID-19 surge.
Whether it was seeing Santa or grabbing one more box of chocolates as a gift, many people were taking care of as many pre-holiday tasks as possible in anticipation of lockdowns that were taking effect late Sunday and early Monday for millions of residents across the state.
