Approaching SMO VOR (Santa Monica) on a SFO-LAX leg on Xmas eve 2005, we were illuminated by a green laser at between 10000 and 7000 feet from the Brentwood/UCLA area. I considered reporting it, but the FO had a flight to catch to Charlotte and home, and was adamant he didn't want anything to delay him getting home by Christmas morning. Oh well, what the hell.
