A few light showers weren’t enough to dampen the holiday spirit at USC Village on Saturday. Free fun for families included photo booths, gingerbread cookie decorating and games — all centered on a skating rink where many South L.A. kids tried the winter sport for the first time. The rink was open to USC students the previous evening.
