Oh, I love Silver Bells. My friend and I always joke about LA that you know it's Christmastime when the shiny silver film reels are put up all along Hollywood Blvd. We don't get snow here (well, not yet anyway, heh heh) so that's our first indication about the holiday season.
A few months ago I went to see Narnia at the El Capitan theater in Hollywood, which is known for doing big theatrical things to promote their new movies (such as showcasing movie props or having live Disney characters appear on stage). Well, since the big thing about Narnia was the part where the kids walk through the wardrobe and come out in a snowy landscape they actually made it snow in the theater. Part of Disney's new thing is this artificial snow they use at Disneyland as part of the holiday firewords display. So when we came out of the theater they had the snow blowing off the roof down in front of you, so from your viewpoint you couldn't tell where it started and where it stopped, and all of Hollywood Blvd appeared to be in a huge snowstorm. Sure it was an illusion but it was breathtaking. I actually got tears in my eyes because it was so beautiful.
I wish they would do it now with the decorations up.
