Sisterfriend,
There is nothing like Christmas in New York!! That is the one thing I miss about living in Brooklyn. I also miss walking to the train station and seeing all the houses decorated. Sexy Mocha, I don't know where in Brooklyn you live but have you ever been down Halsey Street b/w Throop and Marcus Garvey?? There is a house that is always decked out in pretty lights. If you haven't gone there, take a quick trip. If it's not too late you can pick up some food at the Rib House at the corner of Throop Ave. The food is to die for!!!
Oh, I am sending your Christmas gift.....as soon as I get mine...lol
