christmas trees

Thomas Alva Edison was called "The Wizard Of Menlo Park."  And, the prolific inventor certainly wasn't afraid to enhance his reputation through attention-getting stunts!

Feel free to laugh. This is what I call my Charlie Brown tree.

Dennis and Judi had a great time broadcasting live from the beach over the summer in Asbury Park. They had so much fun broadcasting from Asbury Park they didn't do it just once, they did it TWICE. But just because the summer is over doesn't mean that Asbury Park still doesn't have plenty going on.

Ever wonder what it takes to set up the world-renowned Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center?

Fake. Artificial. A tree that comes out of a box. You buy it once and you have it for many many years. I say there's no other way to go.

Every year I run down to the basement and lug up the stairs the bulky bag that contains the Scotch Pine artificial Christmas tree I bought I don’t know how many years ago at an after-Christmas sale. It still looks good to me – even though the color-coded branches are worn and it takes some guesswork to figure out which branch goes into which hole...

It's not only "Black Friday," but you can be the first in your neighborhood to come home with your Christmas Tree!

Most people are familiar with the massive, and very impressive, Christmas tree that graces New York City’s Rockefeller Center every year. This tree has come to symbolize the holiday season for millions of people, and is something of national icon, appearing as a backdrop in countless movies and television specials.

Here's some fun stuff about this very special day.

PSE&G is making a bundle off of my neighbors "FedEX Pat" and "Cornershow Bob" this month!
