Tuesday Transportation Oddities

If you live in northern climes you might be thinking of having a white Christmas. Did you know the National Weather Service has official criteria for what constitutes a white Christmas? There has to be at least one inch of snow on the ground at 7 am local time on Christmas Day. With snow twice this week, there’s a good chance the New York City area will experience its first white Christmas since 2009.

A Christmas Eve Tradition

For the fourth year, I’m sharing a little production I created with a reading of “The Night Before Christmas.” I hope you enjoy it.
