A Christmas Tree in Hollywoodland
I moved into the Canyon just before Thanksgiving of 2005; by the time I was settled, the businesses of Beachwood Village were transformed by colored lights and decorations. As Christmas neared, many of my neighbors lit their houses as well, enhancing my nighttime view of the Hollywood Sign with twinkling lights. (Less festive was the discovery that some of these houses would stay lit well after the holidays--in some cases until March. I've come to think of it as a local tradition.)
Before dark on winter days, I often walk the hilly streets of Hollywoodland. Recently, I noticed a striking addition to the Canyon's holiday decorations: a towering pine tree hung with lights and a star. Located on Pelham Place, the tree dwarfs everything around it.
As Under the Hollywood Sign approaches the end of its fourth year, I'd like to thank my ever-increasing readership. I hope you've enjoyed reading these posts as much as I've enjoyed writing them. Merry Christmas!
