Unfortunately I cannot spend time with my parents this holiday season, but I can enjoy my mom’s simple gingerbread cookie recipe that she has repeated for years.
Leon Kaye will join journalist Aman Singh and UPS’ Scott Wicker for a Holiday Twitter Chat about how to be environmentally conscious, responsible and yes, enjoy this time of year.
Ignore squawking over the no-no of sending holiday cards. By all means you should send holiday cards, Christmas cards, and yes, even those meandering holiday newsletters, or “brag-a-grams.” Should they be recycled or repurposed cards? Who cares?
What I loved about Dubrovnik was the quiet joy the city’s residents and shop owners undertook while decorating their town for the upcoming holiday.
Yes, the holidays–not that the election is over, it is time to think about what you are going to buy online on Cyber Monday, unless of course you plan on waking up at 1 a.m. on Black Friday to snag that cheap flat-screen TV or laptop. Well, if you plan to give presents as part of a group, eBay may just have the solution for you.
Well, maybe not these. My brother, who lives in Brooklyn, sent these photos through his iPhone as he was taking his dog out for a run. As much as I love New York, one image that always sticks with me are the piles of garbage that line the streets almost every evening. When he [...]
So it’s the day after Christmas, and hopefully your tree will last till New Year’s Day, or if you have some Armenian or Eastern European blood in you, it will hold out until January 6. I do not have a problem with buying a live tree, as long is it is mulched by the city, [...]

It’s Christmas Eve, so GreenGoPost is in Northern California visiting family. As I mentioned on December 1, I had heaps of old post cards that were never sent. Well, they have been doctored up: enjoy! I visited Monticello a few times. I think TJ’s house looks better spruced up for the holidays. [...]
One of the most beautiful cities in the world is Washington, DC. It feels like a national capital with all the huge buildings and monuments, and you can focus on them during your visit, because the city is not littered with billboards (LA, take note). If you happen to be there in winter when it [...]
Holidays are a wonderful time, especially if children are in the mix. You’d have to be a complete curmudgeon if you’re not moved when a child gets that gift he or she always wanted. The 1983 classic, A Christmas Story, sums it up best when Ralphie blurts out his desire for an “Official Red Ryder [...]
We’ll have some holiday fun this month as we countdown to that ultimate holiday celebration . . . it’s great to celebrate the season, while over-spending, over-eating, and over-stressing. You have plenty of sites telling you how unsustainable Christmas and the holidays are, so I won’t pester you by lecturing how bad all those holiday [...]
