Christmas
Merry Christmas to all
December 25, 2008
Is it really Christmas already? How on earth did that happen? I think what makes it hardest for me to imagine is that it was nearly 50 degrees yesterday. I guess we won't have a white Christmas this year. For me, snow on the ground has become part of the whole Christmas "package" as it were, so seeing the ground unblanketed just seems wrong. What is it that makes Christmas Read more...
Best Light Displays
December 23, 2008
In and around Pittsburgh, many of the best light displays are ones that you can drive through. Or, I should say, are meant to be driven through. Most of us do tour our neighborhood light displays by car given the cold temperatures and the fact that walking around at night gawking at light displays can, on some roads, be hazardous. Here are some of the classic displays around town: Read more...
Holiday Gift Guide: Off the Beaten Path
December 11, 2008
Only 11 days from now, Hanukkah begins, and in two weeks, it's Christmas. Have you finished shopping? Are you looking for something a little different? I am always on the lookout for gifts that are a bit out of the ordinary. Here is a list of gifts and shops you may not have considered (and won't find in the weekly circulars).

Deck the Halls with Family Memories
December 10, 2008
The thing I love most about the Christmas season is a chance to revisit family memories. In our house, most of the decorations have a story attached, and each year when we pull them out of storage, we tell those stories, keeping them alive. A lot of this tradition started with my parents, who always indulged me when I asked about every single ornament placed on the tree. I now tell those Read more...
Holiday Events in Pittsburgh
December 09, 2008
Pittsburgh has an amazing collection of holiday events, and many of us who grew up here can remember what we've done every year since we were a kid. And we want to share those events with our kids. Here are some of my favorites: Miniature Railroad and Village I remember as a kid the thrill of visiting Buhl Planetarium every December to see the miniature train display. I would want to stay Read more...
Weekend Happenings
December 04, 2008
As I mentioned on Monday, the holiday season normally yields many, many things to do. This coming weekend is no exception, and these are really awesome events. So, if you can spare an hour or two on either day this weekend (not both, of course--holiday madness!), it will be a great time for you and the kids. Here is the lineup: Kids' Holiday Crawl On Saturday, December 6, Read more...
Pittsburgh Holiday Traditions
December 02, 2008
Pittsburgh's rich ethnic heritage, while always a part of life in the 'Burgh, becomes clear to all when the holidays approach. So many cultures have come together to form our city, but it's the differences between these cultures, the traditions they hold dear, that truly make this place we call home so special. I'd like to focus on a handful of holiday traditions that I look forward to each Read more...
Surviving Holiday Preparations
December 01, 2008
We have no sooner recovered from Turkey Day and we find ourselves neck deep in preparations for the winter holidays. No matter the holiday you celebrate, you probably find yourselves completely worn out by the time the holiday actually arrives. Am I right? Or is it just me? What I would like to offer today is a list of things that help me minimize holiday stress. As a working mom, I am Read more...
