I'm saying it's different there. Especially in regard to integration, and then I went into a little nastalgia.
It's different than in LA s well, I think because in LA most people are driving, and in NY (unless you are dripping with cash).. life is spent mostly on the street.
Whether you think it's 'better' is clearly personal choice.
I loved it...but I also love where I am now and grew up in a small town as well..
Charlie, if anyone manages to pry your fingers off that chair.. give me a holler..
there's a few places I bet you might take to, just for a quick visit.
Merry Christmas everyone!!

New York City is smelly, crowded, expensive, a lot of snotty pushy people, did I say it was crowded? There are nice things to see and do there, but in between the traffic jams, muggings, rapes, smell, very hot humid or freezing cold days, $25 an hour parking, elitist snobs, and pushy rude blue collar workers, it's not a place most would want to be around for very much time.

I'm pretty sure Kwanzaa hasn't started yet, right?

What a silly thread. To paraphrase: A tree is a tree is a tree and smells as sweet no matter what you call it.
Why don't those people who want to call it a Christmas tree continue to call it a Christmas tree and those who want to change the name to something else go ahead? I'm too old to change names at this point and time, but I don't care what anyone else wants to call it.
In fact the "Christmas tree" as we know it, is a rather recent man made custom that evolved in Germany and has nothing to do with the birth of Christ. When the German's first imported it to the US many people thought it very unchristian!!! Maybe we should call it a German tree?
See this website for interesting info on the history of the "Christmas tree".
