Video: Why You Should Water Your Christmas Tree
We’re officially five days away from Christmas which means that a lot of us have had their Christmas trees up in the house for a good month now. That plush vibrant green tree you bought from the local tree lot is now looking slightly brown and dried out by now. Sure, it looks pretty with all the lights and ornaments masking it, but behind the decorations be aware of the fuel load the tree brings into your home like this one here:

Fire investigators don’t know how it started.The flames sent up a large plume of black smoke that could be seen from I-405 Monday morning. Here are a couple videos of the Christmas tree fire:

Christmas at Candy Cane Lane – El Segundo
If you’re looking to enjoy some local Christmas activities before we head into the weekend, check out Candy Cane Lane in El Segundo. The residents of the 1200 Block of Acacia Avenue have made this event a popular holiday tradition in El Segundo for more than 60 years.
My friends brought me here on Sunday night and it is a great sight to see if you enjoy the Christmas holiday. Here are a few photos and a short video clip I took of Acacia Avenue, although it doesn’t do this spectacle much justice. The magnitude of the lights and decorations is amazing.
Candy Cane Lane offers every Christmas decoration imaginable in one block of houses. Trains, reindeer, giant characters, music – it’s all there. They encourage visitors to donate canned food for needy families in El Segundo. Candy Cane Lane runs until December 23.
