Happy 2019 Holiday Season!

From Halloween to New Year's Day, this time of year is packed with holidays and celebrations. Retail has started the Xmas season in September already! Not joking, could not believe walking into stores / seeing Xmas decorations out. In case you wondering about the "Xmas"....

​Especially from Thanksgiving (U.S.) to Christmas Day, several faiths / beliefs have holidays. Paganism (Yule) / Judaism (Hanukkah) / Christianity (Advent / Christmas) and more celebrate on different days. Figured the "Xmas" covers everything. Reality check: no matter what I say, someone will be offended. Welcome to the modern world! I say "Happy Holidays" for the same reason. Or a term I came up with 2 years ago: Happy Hallow-Thanks-Mas! With the explanation down, check the video...

Starting with....

Did this one several years ago. Between the song / thinking about memories and what the season means to me.
Media tradition: Going back to the style of the first holiday card: video format....
Video article / article / photos: How a class reunion reminded someone what the holidays are about.
Article / video article: Absence of Christmas Village in Bethlehem, PA.
Combination of serious / comedy break. Like I said about offending people...
Without these businesses and people...
Share your holiday memories / traditions / recipes in comments!
Survey: What are the most stressful parts of the holiday season for you?
Video article on what the holiday season is really about
Combination of the book / interactivity / serious challenge!

A Philadelphia Christmas
After missing 2018, no chance of not covering Philadelphia this year despite a cold / severe infection. Unfortunately, due to time, this will only give you an idea of what I consider a Christmas City. 4 stops in approximately 17 blocks and 3 planned ones missed. There is always next year!
Video introduction and photos
Ice Skating / games  and more at Penn's Landing!
Amazing light show / miniature golf / fire pits and more!
Light show on City Hall definite holiday fav! New Surprise in addition to tents / vendors / etc.
Wow! Vendors / food / live music / giant present you can walk in and more!

Ghosts of Holidays Past...

OK, maybe a little too stereotypical on the title. Moving into coverage of previous years, including: Lehigh Valley / Philadelphia / New York. Want to give you an idea of what this season is like in different areas. Plus, in case you are travelling, a first person perspective of different events!
