Philadelphia Christmas Village & Comcast Christmas Spectacular

December 2013

The Christkindlmarkt (Christmas Village) in Center City has become one of my favorite Christmas traditions. It's a chance to walk around and enjoy some delicious German good and sweets while getting a lot of Christmas shopping done at the many unique vendors. This year we also visited a newer Christmastime event in Center City, The Christmas Spectacular on the giant video screen in the lobby of the Comcast Center. It was neat and it's good to see some of the money I give to Comcast every month given back to the community.
