And Santa Monica…
Ho ho ho! Dreidel dreidel dreidel! The holidays are here! But there’s no white Christmas or Chanukah for us. Cry and complain all you want, but it’s not going to happen. Wait another decade or so and maybe global warming, not Santa, will bring us a white Christmas… However, all is not lost: there is a slight chance of rain on Christmas day and on the first night of Chanukah. If you take off your glasses and cover your ears to avoid hearing the pitter-patter of the rain on your roof, you might maybe possibly be able to imagine that it’s snow falling outside your window, and not rain. Or you can tear up toilet paper or buy white confetti or use styrofoam popcorn (or real popcorn for that matter) and fill up your house with “snow” (keep the non-meltable snow inside your house and out of your yard, please, for that would bring on global warming too soon, even though I know you’re impatient for an abnormal, white Christmas). Happy holidays, and stay warm! Well, you’ll probably be warm enough. It’s southern California, after all. Happy holidays, and stay dry! There, that’s better! If it even rains.
