A Tree Glows in Colorado (Lagoon, that is)

The bad news is that Long Beach is charging more to maintain our beloved floating Christmas trees. The good news is that Alamitos Heights Neighborhood Association still has enough in its coffers to pay for at least on tree (sigh). The lighting will take place the Friday after Thanksgiving at 7 pm. Carolers and Santa will be on hand to help heighten the holiday cheer.

I'm dreaming of a light Christmas

Those darn Christmas trees are back. I thought I had a picture of them from last year, but Ican't find it in mr files. So I guess I have a great excuse to head down to Colorado lagoon for the Christmas tree lighting tonight sponsored by the Alamitos Heights Improvement Association. From 6 to 7:30 there'll be carolers and cookies and Santa will arrive on a firetruck. But for me the most magical is the sudden appearance of light out of the darkness magnified by the reflections on the water. Very Christmas-y and oh so Long Beach!
