No, no snow 

White Christmas?

Why do we need snow to celebrate Christmas?  I grew up in Los Angeles and it rarely snows in L A.  One exception going way back: One day in early January 1949 we had a dusting of snow and our school principal let us kids out of class to play in the snow.  As far as I know, it had never snowed since.

Never the less, Christmas came in L A no matter the weather.  Come smog or rumbling earthquake.  So as expected, Here came Santa Clause right down Santa Clause Lane every December 25th.

all one really needed was a Sears Wishbook.  Make your selection and hope for the best. 

Merry Christmas.
