With the start of Hanukah and Christmas less than two weeks away, here are a few ways to ease your mind and remember what the holidays are all about.

Holiday Light Show @ Macys
- Maybe it’s the twinkling lights or the grand organ playing in the background but when you hear the voice of Julie Andrews, you know this is something special. For all over half a century, Philadelphians of all ages have lined up in the Grand Court of what is now known as Macys to hear the story of Frosty, the Nutcracker and of course, Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer. One visit guarantees a lifetime of returns. The holiday light show is shown the top of each hour beginning @ 10am Find out more here
