Happy December everyone!
What cool old holiday places and events are you looking forward to visiting this year? Let me know and I can share with everyone!
One thing I’m looking forward to going to (Macy’s) in Philadelphia to hear the Wanamaker Organ and watch the light show. I may not be their demographic, but it’s such a cool old tradition, harkening back to the golden age of the city department store!

Ooooh! Isn’t that the world’s largest functional pipe organ? How cool!
As you know, we just got back from a trip to Santa Claus in Indiana, but I haven’t actually got any further in thinking about what other Christmassy things to do! Heck, I haven’t even put up the tree yet! 🙂
Every year right after Thanksgiving my ever expanding family visits LaSalette Shrine in Attleboro, MA. There are millions of lights, displays, holiday music playing, hot cocoa, hot cider, bread to buy, and the last two or three years includes a Merry Go-Round! Along with Edaville Railroad in Carver, MA (which I think sadly may be defunked now), this is my favorite holiday excursion!
Just did my checking and found that Edaville is OPEN AND READY FOR YOUR VISIT!!!
