Yes, but I'm not dragging out one thing this year...I'm writing one check to the step grandkids and then getting on the plane to Jamaica.

Re: Tell me something

A few stores have their decorations up already. Not unusual tho, they usually start up after Halloween.

I passed a house the other night with Christmas decorations up.

I saw this article in today's Daily News ....

The Bronx Zoo is pulling the plug on its annual Holiday Lights Show to save electricity - not just money.

Zoo officials said it's part of an ongoing effort to reduce its &quot;carbon footprint&quot; and make the festival cleaner and greener.

The light show - a nighttime wonderland of animal sculptures in lights - draws up to 100,000 visitors each holiday season.

In its place, the new Wild Winterland show will be a daylight festival featuring Clydesdale horse wagon rides, a petting zoo, ice carving, stilt walkers, puppets and craft workshops - but no lighted features.

The new festival, presented by Hess and sponsored by Pepsi, will run from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. every weekend from Dec. 6 through Dec. 21, and then daily from Dec. 22 through Jan. 4. It's covered in the regular admission price. The &quot;green&quot; spin on the Bronx tradition is an effort by the Wildlife Conservation Society, which runs the zoo, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (such as carbon dioxide, or CO2) from its New York facilities.

Zoo officials said the Holiday Lights Show consumed about 3,500 kilowatts a night, equal to about 2 metric tons of CO2 emissions. That adds up to about 66 metric tons a season - as much as a three-person household produces in an entire year.
