    I don't usaully do much for Christmas, unless I am involved with a YL.

    This year, well... I am involved. Met somebody pretty great a few months ago,
    and we are having a wonderful time feeling like teenagers at 50+.

    Gasp... I'm actually feeling "holiday spirit", and well... I expect some wisecracks about dat.

    BTW Corey, Buffalo/NF is part of my holiday memories. First, because of the drive from college home, then, in the 90's, we did some New Year's in NF. Took Amtrak. The festival of lights there were really great, on both sides of the river in NF. Had some really good times there -- great place to be that time of year.

    And I hope she's feeling you back!
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    We usually have very pretty scenery come Christmas time... Unfortunately; our previous County Executive decided that stuff was foilable, and decided to spend the past 4 years slashing any and all spending on it :(

    Thankfully, the NYS Senator for the region is working on getting that stuff going again; and we have the Fesitval of Lights this year in Downtown NF once again. And, our Downtown Buffalo preservationist society has gotten the old-time store displays back in.

    Saw the same kind of funding slash between 91 and 92. In 91 it was festive with lots of activity. That had disappeared in 92. I chalked that up to the lousy economy then. But from what you say it sounds like it's come back. Sure hope so.
