Christmas in Hollywood:

Only in LA does the mall Santa take a break from photos, crying kids, wet laps, and ho-ho-hoing to stand up and perform his very own rendition of Feliz Navidad (complete with microphone and his own jolly moves).

At 8:00pm on Christmas day, I experienced a white Christmas in LA! The Grove at the Farmer's Market douced its guests with a flurry of snow (soap suds projected from bubble machines on top of the buildings) for a full five minutes while we listed to Harry Connick, Jr. sing "Let it Snow" and Bing Crosby sing "White Chistmas."

The annual light festival presented by LADWP (Dept of Water and Power) in Griffith Park featured an original light version of Muscle Beach complete with shirtless men lifting blinking dumbbells.

The giant Christmas tree at Hollywood and Highland (Mann's Chinese Theatre) was donned with shiny film canisters tied with red ribbons.

Santa costumes in LA can be purchased with an option of red shorts trimmed in white fur.
