my first Christmas in California when I moved there from London was depressing. While shopping for presents in Ojai and seeing everyone in shorts I said to my wife I was finding it tough to feel christmassy and she suggested that I watch movies with snow in them. I did that for a couple of days, and whadda ya know I got over it. Now twenty five years later I am able to shop for Xmas presents in shirt sleeves and shorts just lioke everybody else. Thanks for reminding me of my progress!
