This year Kish decided it would be interesting to go to New York City for Christmas. It was an inspired idea. Some people find the pace of New York City overwhelming; others just can’t stand the crowds. If you fall into one of those categories, you should stay away during the holidays. The calendar is [...]

Christmas isn’t about getting gifts, it’s about giving them. Sometimes the gifts can be material, but often the best gifts are intangible ones — in the form of expressions of good will, or sharing a happy memory, or spending time together while holiday music plays in the background. This sweet and simple story about a [...]

One of the longstanding holiday traditions in Columbus is BalletMet’s performance of The Nutcracker at the historic Ohio Theatre, in the heart of downtown Columbus. Every year central Ohioans pack the theater to enjoy Tchaikovsky’s classic holiday music and the dance stylings of Columbus’ local ballet troupe. And tonight, Christmas Eve, the children will nestle [...]

According to Ordinance 330(j) of the New York City Municipal Code, if you are in the Big Apple in December you are required to visit the holiday decorations at Rockefeller Center at least once.

Like other cities, Columbus gets a bit gussied up for the holidays. It’s entertaining to wander around downtown, enjoying the decorations and the energy and talent that goes into them. At Columbus City Hall, the towering statue of Christopher Columbus — which depicts the intrepid explorer with a curiously flat top of the head — [...]
Christmas With Dino

There are lots of good Christmas albums out there. One of the better ones is Christmas With Dino — Dean Martin’s happy contribution to the holiday season. Christmas With Dino is a good example of intelligent matching of song and artist. Dean Martin’s well-lubricated, jovial singing style isn’t exactly well-suited to religious carols like O [...]

Let’s say you are a successful modern recording artist. Your agent or manager or record company comes to you and asks you to do a Christmas CD. A Christmas CD sounds attractive for lots of reasons. You wouldn’t need to write any new songs. Flip through the pages of the American Christmas music songbook, pick [...]
