Holidays

"We couldn't do this show in some places. Even opera, with some people not wanting to perform 'The Marriage of Figaro!'…But we're thankful that we're here in New York and for the moment we're able to do this in its full glory."

That's what I asked myself this morning as I glanced out the window.

It is Father’s Day, and I am celebrating my Dad, who was the most important influence in my life.

Why should you not say “Happy Memorial Day” this weekend? Because it is not Halloween, Thanksgiving, or someone’s birthday, but a day of remembrance.

These behemoth balloon decorations rule the Halloween scene and are pumped to the maximum PSI that they can take before exploding.  

The Stack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Stacking Kit from Hey Buddy Hey Pal gives fall decorators a new way to safely raise their displays to a new level.

Sadder than a Christmas tree in January? Yes, that is how I'm feeling right now.

Labor Day comes at the worst of times and the best times.

I even went so far as putting on the hat and beard as I wrapped Christmas presents in the attic, and now that is all gone. I'm hanging up my hat and beard. Bah, Humbug!

"I hope [audiences] go away with a lot of quotations besides 'bah, humbug!' and with little pearls of Dickens' wisdom about mankind."
