Peace in the Canals

Published December 19, 2008

A wish for Peace from the Venice canals (and from me) in the Los Angeles area.

Some ballady type song about peace would probably be appropriate, but I’m not in the mood for a slow tune. Today, it’s: Merry Christmas Will Do.
by Material Issue, from the album Yuletunes, 1991. No link for that, as it appears, sadly, to be out of print.

   I love the juxtaposition of the lights and the palm trees — reminds me of the holiday season when I was growing up in Florida. There was something about palm trees and 60-degree nights that gave a whole different look to the Santa-on-his-sleigh displays around our neighborhood.

   I’ve been living here 20 years, and that palm tree thing with the lighting displays still looks odd to me. :) But I like it. It seems to me that a lot of us here really go overboard with the lights. I think we are trying to compensate for the lack of snow/wintry feelings. Altho, it’s been freakishly cold (relatively speaking) here this past week. I’m freezing, but it’s nice for the holidays. I’m glad you liked it.
