• Wow, NJ lawmaker actually introduces a bill good for NJ. I would, however, pay to keep this girl away from NJ for good. http://bit.ly/gnn7pA #
• Sands in Bethlehem is 1 of nicest non-AC/LV casinos I’ve seen. Also good that they try to respect history of Bethlehem Steel. pasands.com #
• Delicious lunch at Emeril’s Burgers & More. First time at one of @Emeril‘s restaurants. Definitely worth the trip! http://bit.ly/eu2A5 #
• Even if I can’t eat them anymore, it’s still sad to see TastyKake (@TastyBakingCo) no longer being a Philly company. http://bit.ly/gGpQFQ #
• I’ve never expected truth in politics, but this guy makes some really good points about blatant lying. http://bit.ly/dNMN5C #

When I think of Christmas it conjures images of small towns with rows of little stores selling gifts in Germany. OK, so maybe not the Germany part. However, a really cool Christmas tradition does come from Germany. It’s the Chriskindlmarkt. Bethlehem, PA (a.k.a. Christmas City) puts on a huge one every year. I finally got a chance to go to it this year. It was a fun day of shopping and some sightseeing.

Then i heard Philadelphia was putting on one of their own at City Hall. It was called the Philadelphia Christmas Village. While not as big it will hopefully be an annual event because it has real potential.

Check out my photos from Bethlehem and then take a look at my photos of Philadelphia.
