Christmas isn’t over quite yet
The holiday season is just about over, but there’s at least one more holiday event on tap after the calendars change to 2010. Click here to read my story about the Hamilton-Fairfield Symphony chamber orchestra’s holiday show on Sunday, Jan. 3.

What are your traditional Christmas Day outings?
In the Dec. 25 LIFE section that you’ll find tucked inside the Middletown Journal or Hamilton JournalNews, we plan to print a story about events that are open on Christmas day for people to venture out and see.
Some families may be content to unwrap presents, eat food, clean up tons of wrapping paper and recover from the food coma. However, we’re sure there are some families out there who like to go out to see something Christmas-y on Christmas.
So what do you like to see or where do you like to go? Light Up Middletown? Pyramid Hill’s light display in Hamilton? Or something else altogether?
Tell us what you like to do on Christmas day via the comments and we just might print some of your responses in the story. Deck the halls with your 15 minutes of fame!

What holiday event is a MUST for the season?
To get this blog rolling again, I thought I’d try to keep the holiday vibe going by asking you all a question.
Most people have their Christmas traditions - those things they simply HAVE to do every year to make Christmas complete. So along those lines, I’d like to ask - what local holiday events are must-sees for you?
Although this is a Butler/Warren County-centric blog, if you answer is something outside this area, go ahead and say so. Might make for an interesting conversation.
So I query, “In other words, “It’s just not Christmas until I go out to __.” Fill in the blank.

And yet another holiday event - and another Nutcracker
Versions of The Nutcracker are about as plentiful as versions of A Christmas Carol, but one Nutcracker is as close as Middletown this weekend.
