Day 31

December 5, 2019

Christmas in Los Angeles. I have been living in this city for nearly two decades and Christmas, the holidays, always sneak up on me. It always seems that Christmas shopping season starts earlier and earlier every year. Before Halloween, even. So I try my best to ignore it until after Thanksgiving. This causes me to always feel caught off guard when it finally sinks in. I think its because there is no snow. Sure, fake snow can be had at any time, but the real stuff, not here. So a trip to a mall is the only way to have it feel real. And The Grove does not disappoint. The fountain was designed by WET Design which was founded by former Disney Imageneers. The fountain, in true LA fashion, uses recycled water.
