The Santana [or some people say Santa Ana] winds are blowing through San Diego this week. I live a block and a half from the beach in Carlsbad. Yesterday, there were men in boardshorts and women in bikinis walking down the street past my house.
A neighbor from New York was whining "This doesn't feel like Christmas at all."
Having lived in Southern California all my life, all I could think of to say was "It sure does to me."
I thought of other things NOT to say, though.
Posted by Rae at December 19, 2004 09:05 AMSomewhere high in the desert near a curtain of blue
St. Anne's skirts are billowing
But down here in the city of limelights
The fans of Santa Anna are withering
And you can't deny the living is easy
If you never look behind the scenery
It's show time for dry climes
And Bedlam is dreaming of rain
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
So many lives are on the breeze
Even the stars are ill at ease
And Los Angeles is burning
This is not a test
of the emergency broadcast system
When Malibu fires and radio towers
Conspire to dance again
And I cannot believe the Media Mecca
They're only trying to peddle Reality
Catch it on Prime time
Story at nine
The whole world is going insane
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
So many lives are on the breeze
Even the stars are ill at ease
And Los Angeles is Burning
A placard reads "the end of days"
Jacaranda boughs are bending in the haze
More a question than a curse
How could hell be any worse
The flames are stunning
The cameras running
So take warning!
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
So many lives are on the breeze
Even the stars are ill at ease
And Los Angeles is burning
I confess, David, having grown up in the midwest, that Christmas without bitter cold and snow is an odd idea for me.
I do enjoy that what makes something special to us is so much more that what is seen only by our eyes....
Posted by: Rae at December 20, 2004 06:47 AMThere was an excellent book called
"How to California"
by Jonathan Roberts that discussed the New York Transplant in hilarious detail.
Posted by: Sweet Lou at December 20, 2004 08:43 AMMaybe I did sound a little snobby about the Southern California weather. I apologize. I have never known anything but sunny, warm Christmases, and I do realize some people really enjoy that cold, snappy Christmas for the same reasons I like mine warm and sunny.: familiarity and childhood memories.
I think that if I had a cold Christmas, I would think I was being punished. ;-)
Posted by: David at December 20, 2004 03:15 PMDavid- you didn't sound snobby, you sounded funny :)
I was just thinking how strange it looks to me when we go to Las Vegas in December to see Christmas lights on Palm Trees. Remember I am from Missouri.
