Christmas In So Cal

The Mission Inn in Riverside is one of Southern California's architectural and historic gems. I do not think it gets the props it deserves. If you are in the area you should stop by and check out the holiday lights.

They have a spa and weekend packages if you want to stay and relax. I see here they are offering a New Years Package. Treat yourself to some after Christmas rest and relaxation. Enjoy.

Holiday Lighting

What is au courant in the holiday lighting world?

LED's-Light Emitting Diodes are semiconductors used to create light. There are other types of Solid State Lights ("SSL,") but LED's are the most relevant for general illumination.

When you select energy-efficient lighting, you:
• Save a lot of money;
• Reduce the need for additional power plants;
• Reduce greenhouse gases and other pollution; and,
• Are able to use lighting in ways you never thought possible

Here are some interesting non-traditional designs:

...oooo like diamond!

...and in color

I sense a jewelry theme here.

...some purple, they come in gold as well for the Laker fan, maybe?

...and this is just weird. I didn't even know they made black-light holiday lights!
