Christmastime in the City

Cheesing it up
Cheesing it up
One lovely day during the Season, Mom and I traveled a great distance* into Philadephia to see the sights.

We saw:

The Holiday show in the Comcast Center lobby, which was delightful. It would also be a great place to pickpocket all of us tourists, who are staring upward with slackened jaws.

The light show at Macy’s. I try to see this every year and it always makes me smile. If you’ve never done it before, do it before the Comcast Center show, because it’s a bit lower-tech.

The tree at City Hall. It’s a quieter place to take pictures.

And the Christmas Village at LOVE park. It’s an outdoor craft fair, with dozens of stalls. And hot strudel. Oooo the strudel!

We had lunch at a local restaurant (ok, Chili’s) and coffee at a local coffee joint (fine, Starbucks) and took the train home. We had a great time and will definitely have to make this a tradition!

There was a guy there taking pics of tourist for tips. I chose to do it this way and he yelled "SELFIE SELFIE" like a moron. Sorry, dude.

*not really. It was a 20 minute train ride.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
