Trying to work on my sekrit Santa story but getting stuck on some things.

For anybody who lives in LA - is there a big Christmas tree goes up every year like in New York? (I'm working entirely from movie knowledge here). When and where is it, erm, erected? And does it actually get cold in California in the winter?

(I'd offer to answer questions about Ireland in return, but considering some of what we saw of Galway in the season 2 flashbacks - hell, make it up, you'll do as well as the show did)

My Secret Slasha story: eep. Love the pairing, but I'm using it to try to work through my block about having the couple in a relationship at the beginning of the story. Hope the victim recipient doesn't mind too much.

My Dawnfic's done. Yuletide: 1 done and 1 needs one more scene. This is far more organised than I thought I'd be...

Okay: big trees. L.A., unlike New York, is not very centralized, so there's not one, big tree. However, the Grove, which is a relatively new outdoor but enclosed shopping center in the Fairfax/Miracle Mile/Mid-Wilshire neighborhood, puts up a huge tree in its central courtyard and has a big tree-lighting ceremony that airs on the WB and, this year, featured Kenny G. It was truly horrifying.

Also, the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills (it's the hotel where Warren Beatty used to live) puts up a huge tree made of lights (just lights - no actual tree) and I'm pretty sure a large public tree is also put up on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica.

It gets kind of cold in the winter, especially at night. Let's just say, you don't want to go outside without a jacket, but gloves tend to be optional, and you can almost never see your breath.

Hope that helps.
