Merry (Day After) Christmas!

Because I've been offline since Saturday afternoon, this is a day late, but I'm posting it anyway, as it is my favorite holiday commercial ever. Eat 'N Park is a regional restaurant chain, so the Christmas Star Commercial is only aired locally, which I discovered when Aaron, who hails from Central Pennsylvania's Cumberland Valley, had never heard

We have Eat 'n' Park's here but sadly since we've moved to Ohio i have not seen this commercial. i loved it as a kid.

They seem to air it in only five main areas: Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Johnstown, Wheeling, Youngstown/Warren (http://www.eatnpark.com/newsDetail.asp?NewsID=137&NewsCategoryID=4).

I can't remember a Western PA Christmas without this commercial. I missed it last year, fo' sho'.

Hope you had a good holiday!

Indeed I did! Same to you, sir -- and Happy New Year!

[earthly_gnome]

Happy New Year to you too!

Will I hear you out and about in the neighborhood banging pots come midnight?

HAHA. Is that a Pittsburgh tradition I've yet to hear about? ;)

Most likely I'll be curled up on my couch watching The Twilight Zone marathon on SciFi. Ah, I am so lame.

Let me tell you. Historically (from my childhood) there are 3 things that tell me Christmas is here! 1. The Hershey Kiss Carol of the Bells commercial (which I never see at all anymore!) 2. The EnP Christmas Tree! (which I definitely don't see in CO!) and 3. The Claymation Christmas special (which noone seems to have heard of ever!)
So I feel your pain!
