The Palm Springs Christmas Tree
above: The Palm Springs city hall Christmas tree went "green" this year, because it was decorated with LED (Light Emitting Diode) energy efficient lights. These lights use up to 90 percent less energy, so they are better than a normal city hall Christmas tree. I read somewhere that in California, there is some law going into effect in a year or two that will ban the sale of non-LED Christmas lights, to help the state consume less energy and go green. So Palm Springs is ahead of the trend. Does your city or town have green Christmas tree? If not, write to the Mayor and make the suggestion for next year! Oh- by the way, its getting close to Christmas, are you all ready?

ah, green and unifying in spirit, what more could anyone ask? thanks for sharing this, rick. wishing you a very merry christmas.
Merry Christmas, my friend. Our city tree fell down during a windstorm last week or the week before. They had to put it back up or get a new one... Maybe we need wires.
The people who put the lights on that tree did an excellent job!!
Yes, I am ready. Happy Holidays, Rick.
it's lovely rick. the christmas tree in palm beach is always so puny and ugly. and it is the same thing every year...

Great post! Something like that gorgeous tree DOES unify the community, doesn't it? LED lights also last substantially longer -- great idea for CA to mandate this.
