Wow! I am amazed by the trees.i am Jewish and mostly seen at Jewish Cemeteries are Rocks on the headstones.(That’s what we do for remembrance instead of flowers) Merry Christmas Steve and Jim❤🎄🌺
Hi Tracy, I don’t know if you got that far in this very long video, but I did come across one very beautiful and elaborately decorated Jewish grave, which was quite a nice surprise. 🕎
Hi Steve. That was incredible. Here in Michigan we have very few decorations at the cemetery during the winter with all the snow we get. This was impressive , my friend. Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas 🎄 Blessings - Judith 🎭🎤
Glad you enjoyed it Judith. You make a good point about the weather. It’s definitely easier to do something like this when it’s sunny every day with little rain or snow. 😎🎄🎁👍
That is spectacular! We all miss more and more people as we get older. What a wonderful way to remember and celebrate cherished memories! Merry Christmas 🎄 !
Enjoyed every minute of this Steve---how nice of you to show this to all of us---! I believe it is lovely to honor loved ones in this way--- Merry Christmas to both of you !!!!!!!!
Thank you, Steve. What a wonderful idea!! Christmas is the time when you miss your lost loved ones the most. Merry Christmas to you and Jim. Have a happy 2025.
Thanks for taking us along. Spent many happy hours visiting my grandmother years ago in Palm Springs. I'm an old lady now with good memories. Love to see the cemetery decorated like this.
Thanks Steve I'm watching this Podcast on Christmas morning with my family. There's nothing better than food fun family exchanging gifts and enjoying your Cemetery visit for Christmas. Thanks Steve you're a treasure 🧑🎄🎄🌴💥
This is a first for me. I never go to graveyards, and didn't know they allow decorations like this. I'm surprised they didn't do more with Sinatra's plot. You should take a drive at nite and show us how it lights up.
I had no idea people did this but I think it’s great! I’m going to drive by the cemetery here on the way to my daughters and see if there are any. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if there are. Thanks Steve. Merry Christmas 🎄
Oh my goodness how pretty. I decorate my family's graves with Christmas blankets, evergreen branches layed out like a blanket and a big red bow, I also add other items. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Steve!. This video is just amazing. I had no clue people decorated grave sites like this. Where my parents are buried at in Cleveland the rules every year at the cemetery get stricter. What a wonderful way to celebrate one's memories at Christmas. Just luv it!
Merry Christmas Perry! Sorry to hear that about your parent’s cemetery. California cemeteries are also usually pretty strict. That’s why this Christmas display is even more special. Glad you enjoyed it too! 🎄🎁😄
The largest cemetery here in the South Bay/Beach Cities area is Green Hills Memorial Park, in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. You will find the same Christmas decorations there if not more so! My parents are buried there & there's a few famous folks laid to rest there also. The most heartfelt & extremely detailed decorated area at Green Hills is the Babyland section. 😢 Toy train sets & Hot Wheels tracks.... Toys galore. The decorations that people do at Green Hills are very beautiful & have an abundance of Christmas Spirit. As you said in your video Steve, it is like visiting a Candy Cane Lane neighborhood. I don't feel it's morbid at all to visit your local cemetery during Christmas time. You'll see some of the best & most thoughtful Christmas displays! 🎅🎄🤶
That is awesome to hear Vix! Thank you for letting me know. It’s one of the very few cemeteries since Southern California that I haven’t yet visited. Maybe I will try to visit next Christmas. 🎄🎁😄
WOW It's like walking thru a Christmas forest. I've never seen anything like it. I love it and the thought of everyone caring so much means a lot. Thanks for sharing and have a Merry Christmas. It's amazing, with all the decorations you don't see 2 of a kind.
Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City is full of these type of Christmas decorations. I was there a week ago to decorate my nephew's grave and it was really busy. Christmas decorations are allowed 12/6 thru 1/7 and I do go back and gather up the decorations which I use each year. I also decorate my cremated dog remains grave which has a gravestone and border trim. Lots of people do that there also. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I went to my grandparents grave and left a giant poinsettia on my parents grave. I used to take my mother to the cemetery every Christmas to put flowers on family. Now it;s just me so I only do my grandparents and parents! 🌹
Merry Christmas to you Steve and your viewers! Yes many of the cemeteries in greater Los Angeles area permit families and mourners liberties to decorate their loved ones graves. My parents are interned at Rose Hills Cemetery and Memorial Park. Mourners decorate graves at Rose Hills. Another cemetery is Resurrection Cemetery in Monterey Park, where mourners decorate graves. I hope people don’t think such commemorations are strange or some other derogatory judgment. Again Merry Christmas to all! Either living or deceased. Christmas is religious feast celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ the Savior of us all. Thank you Steve for sharing this vlog of your visit to Desert Cemetery.
I have never seen so many decorations in a cemetery. Thanks so much for showing us this great Christmas present from you and please check at night to see what it looks like? I bet it is beautiful. STEVE YOU HAVE GIVEN US QUITE A CHRISTMAS MONTH. THANKS ALOT. AND GETTING JIM TO JOIN TOO ONE NIGHT.
Steve, most cemeteries at least the ones in my area don't allow displays like that as they would be destroyed by weather ( rain, snow etc... ) and I don't imagine you get a whole lot of precipitation in the desert. I bet it looks amazing there at night ! I hope you and Jim have a safe and happy Christmas Bob V 🎄
Hi Bob, you are right. According to a lot of the comments, this is becoming very popular in Southern California cemeteries. I’m sure the reason has to do a lot with our nice weather and very little if any rain this time of year.
Great way to honor their loved ones at Christmas time my mom loved white Christmas 🎄 decorations in red I like them as well Merry Christmas Steve and Jim blessings in the new year have a great day
I love the idea of holiday decorating in the cemetery. Russian tradition the families picnic at their loved ones resting place for holiday, anniversary, birthday....etc. Made my Christmas, Steve! Merry Christmas, everyone!))
@@steveinpalmspringsca Yes. Remember learning about how the generation in the 1800s used to take photos WITH their passed on relatives? I think decorating resting places is the way to go for me. I still can't get over people actually taking photos and posing their deceased loved ones...IN THE SAME ROOM..😳
Hi Steve... amazing decorations at the cemetery...I have never seen anything like it before now...trees.. piggies... Santa... flowers.. poinsettias....very nice....thanks ... Deborah 🇨🇦🙏❤️🎄
Beautiful! I bet at night its gorgeous ! Around here, people tend to put wreaths and grave blankets on, although there may be small trees here and there. This is probably due to our sometimes nasty weather, which would wipe out elaborate decorations. A nearby small town has a great display in its park, which includes decorated memorial trees lining the drives. Families and friends of loved ones placed them with signs so we know who is being remembered. It's really nice!
To see this amazes me that so many people decorate their loved ones' graves like this. As here in Australia, this is something that has never been seen, and I never knew it happened anywhere til I saw videos like this from the ones I have watched by you and others.
I love the snowman tree. I don't know if the cemeteries in the LA area do this but it's certainly nice of the cemetery to allow it. I imagine it looks beautiful at night.
Merry Christmas to you and Jim. I've never seen cemeteries decorated like that. I live in SC and I know the public "memorial park" type cemeteries are very strict about what they'll allow on graves. In my area it seems like most people are buried in church graveyards.
I've been to many, many cemeteries in my lifetime & I've never, ever seen anything like that before. Here on the east coast you see flowers, poinsettia, & wreaths or grave blankets at Xmas it never full Xmas trees. Amazing! Thanks for sharing and teaching me something new. Lol
It's called a 'cycle of life.' just because someone passed. Doesn't mean we forgot in loving them. Their memories will always be cherished. Especially during these special holiday season. Perhaps they can't visit us physically. But we can always go to them. ❤🌲🙏 Merry Christmas Steve
I’ve never seen anything like this, Steve! We don’t decorate the graves in my part of the country. It’s a very sweet and happy idea!❤️ Merry Christmas!🎄🎁
I think it would be hard to describe those displays as anything other than spectacular. Lucky are those not forgotten. And, good to see Frank Sinatra's grave cleaned up.
@@steveinpalmspringsca I don’t think there are more than two dozen Christian cemeteries in Thailand. Even then I believe everyone is still cremated so I don’t think there are any Christmas decorations.
Spectacular for sure! Absolutely amazing! In Minnesota we can decorate with wreaths but they need to be on 6ft stands so the wreath is above the snow. Occasionally there will be a tree but it's rare. Thanks for sharing!!
Once again, I am very grateful for your vlogs This year I'm alone except for the good lord in my ❤️ I send yand Jim happiest wishes for today and the new year 😊 💖
Merry Christmas Steve to you and Jim from North Carolina 🎄🎁❤️🙏 I went to the cemetery today to see my family. We’re allowed flowers in stationary bases but no real decorations. It’s a church cemetery and I’ve actually had decorations removed which was very disturbing.
Hi Steve. For the past two years I’ve put up 2 small solar lit trees on my parents grave. March 1st is clean up day. Anything left on the graves will be removed by the cemetery. I make sure to take them down the first week of January. I hope you enjoyed your Christmas 😊🎄⛄️🎁❄️
Wow, how beautiful! It reminds me of the time I visited Hollywood Hills Forest Lawn in 1998 because I wanted to visit Lucille Ball (this was before they took her back to N.Y.). I'd been there once before but in 1998 I went in December and was stunned to see so many decorations all over the grounds. Like you, I was not expecting it. What a sight to see. Thank you for this video. Merry Christmas and Happy 2025.
I’ve never seen this before. I plan on being buried at the veterans cemetery and they don’t allow anything. Merry Christmas Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year Steve and Jim.
Hi Steve I worked at the Pajaro Valley Cemetery District in Watsonville CA. One of our cemetery’s Valley Public Cemetery has decorations like the Palm Springs Mainly it’s the Hispanic Families who honor their dead. I find it quite nice they do that. Merry Christmas
@ I just heard you mention about the cemetery cleaning the graves. They usually have a holding yard that all decorations are kept for the families to come and pick up.
During the Franco-Prussian war in 1871, a French soldier in the trenches stood up, unarmed, on Christmas Day and began singing, “O Holy Night,” to the perplexed Germans. It began a 24 hour ceasefire and both sides celebrated the holiday. “O Holy Night,” is a rather controversial song. Though it initially was accepted, it was soon rejected by the Catholic Church, when it became known, it was written by an atheist, and composed by a Jew. As it’s my favorite Christmas song, I’m glad we got over that! O Holy night has a very storied history! Check it out sometime. I’ve barely scratched the surface here. Merry Christmas Steve and Jim! Hope Santa was kind to youse guys!❤
What a beautiful way to remember those that have passed. Thank you, Steve,
Wow! I am amazed by the trees.i am Jewish and mostly seen at Jewish Cemeteries are Rocks on the headstones.(That’s what we do for remembrance instead of flowers) Merry Christmas Steve and Jim❤🎄🌺

It really is a beautiful display of love and respect, isn’t it?
🎉 ❤❤❤❤ how beautiful and festive
Thanks for sharing. Nothing like it here. Suspect it's a Latino tradition and wonderful project on Christmas Day.

That sounds nice. It’s definitely different when there’s snow on the ground. ⛄️
I havent seen this done before...its awesome...impossible to do with the snow we get.
Yeah, I haven’t thought about that. Places where it snows and rain a lot would make it very difficult to do. 🙁

One of our cemetery’s Valley Public Cemetery has decorations like the Palm Springs
Mainly it’s the Hispanic Families who honor their dead. I find it quite nice they do that.

During the Franco-Prussian war in 1871, a French soldier in the trenches stood up, unarmed, on Christmas Day and began singing, “O Holy Night,” to the perplexed Germans. It began a 24 hour ceasefire and both sides celebrated the holiday.

Though it initially was accepted, it was soon rejected by the Catholic Church, when it became known, it was written by an atheist, and composed by a Jew.
