I’m seeking your favorite Pittsburgh area Christmas events. Think Light Up Night, train display at the Carnegie Science Center, Macy’s windows under Kaufmann’s Clock, Kennywood’s Holiday Lights, etc.
Do you visit any light displays? Do any neighborhoods around here have great displays?
Do you go to any live stage shows, concerts, etc?
Share them with me in the comments or on Twitter by tweeting me at @GoBobbo.
From classic animated shows to new movies, take a peek at some of the websites I’ve found to help you find holiday-themed programming.
Have some to share? Let me know!
It’s hard to imagine being thankful for anything after your child dies.
I have no children, so I’ve yet to experience the bond between a parent and child.
A week before Thanksgiving, I hesitated before walking up the steps of Matt and Meghan Galluzzo’s Sewickley home. It was, I thought, going to be one of the most difficult interviews. I was there to talk with them about how thankful they were for how giving the community, colleagues and strangers have been to them and their daughter over the last several months.
Their son Owen died Aug. 10, 2014, at the age of 9. I had known some of Owen’s medical history because his father and I have been Facebook friends for a few years. We’d never met in person, but connected through social media. Admittedly, I knew little of the medical issues except for what Matt posted. I knew of Meghan and her sister as we are alum from the same high school, but many years apart.
That evening, they shared many stories of how grateful they have been for the support they’ve received.
From that evening came this story. I hope you’ll read it.
Matt and Meghan are working to offer support to two organizations that helped Owen. The link offers a way in which you can help.
Bye bye, pumpkins and ghosts!
Hello, ornaments, sparkly lights and lots of festive fun!
It’s the start of my favorite time of the year!
I’ve loved Christmas for as long as I can recall. My grandma always made the season very festive and welcoming. My mother picked up the Christmas trait when she began a family, and the holiday spirit has made its way to me.
So as many folks ease into the season throughout November, I’m already there!!
My iPod turned over to all Christmas tunes in October, and while many were dishing out candy to Buzz Lightyears and Elsas, I was watching the Hallmark Channel kick off its Christmas movies.
