Picture and Movie Taken 29 September 2008

One of the bigest Christmas displays in San Diego is the Christmass tree strung between the two towers of the DownTown San Diego Marriott Hotel.  This display has been a fixture of San Diego Christmas for some times.  It has been different colours over the years.  One year it was all green.  I believe this is the first time that has blinking lights.
