The Christmas spirit is alive in Beverly Hills.
Over the weekend, I ran smack dab into a number of tourists excitedly oohing & aahing all the colorful eye-catching decorations spread out in their festive glory along chic Rodeo Drive.
The novel Toy Soldiers scattered about - dabbed in rich hues of red, blue, and gold - were a big crowd pleaser.
At the foot of the street (at Wilshire) a trail of plush bows and holly entice the adventurous up a stairwell to the courtyard above at ultra-exclusive Via Rodeo where a majestic tree - with all the trimmings - welcomes in the season.
Late evening strollers are treated to a stunning sight...Baccarat Crystal Chandeliers twinkling a thousand points of light into the dark, starry night.
The Spirit of the Season
November 23 - December 23; Saturday & Sundays; 1-7 pm
Get into the holiday spirit by attending the holiday performances scheduled along Rodeo and Beverly Drives.
On various street corners in the Golden Triangle there will be carolers, jazz musicians, and brass ensembles to delight.
Also, on hand, a posse of caricature artists to render a quick sketch for free.

Join Mrs. Claus on the trolley. After the joyride, meet Santa at the Paley Center for Media and take advantage of a photo op and a special holiday screening.

Shopping Tip
When you're rubbing elbows with the upper crust in the rarefied air of the tony city, don't get caught up in shopping excess.
Remember, a gift from the heart - one not based on value - is best appreciated.
