2 one acts by the peccadillo theater at st church theater on w. 46th and 9th ave.- publicity

Up intil january 3th, you can view 2 one acts by thornton wilder: The long christmas dinner and pullman car hiawatha. Neither of which present much Christmas iconography (i was hoping for a christmas tree on the set, there was none),but if you are a fan of this playwright, you might like it. Also, if you like familial conversation (apparently, it spans the Bayard family over 90 years) and conversation between strangers on a train, you might enjoy this. Again, a few christmas related themes might have been enjoyable for a play called The long christmas dinner. View their website for available seats.

Parm needs to relocate

Lansky's on the upper west side was closed for chicken parmigiana; you've got to be joking. Parm now has the place that Lansky's was at. I think Parm needs to relocate and Lansky's needs to reopen in that same place. Parm took the sofas out. What 's wrong with the Parm? This group keeps showing up after me and I wish it would stop. They showed up at the tavern in the rockaways and redid it. I hate it. They took the center out and took the juke boxes out. What's wrong with the tavern? Please stop saying this and that in front me.

Dear Santa, I really want Adam Sandler to perform his Hanukkah song live in New York

A New book will delight all readers this holiday season

I walked by the Barnes and Noble last week and noticed the poster announcing the reading of the new book by 2 women: one known to me as Amanda Peet, the actress that was in shows like 'Jack and Jill' and the movie "Something's gotta give, (which I loved.); the other, unknown, is known as Andrea Troyer. "Dear Santa, Love, Rachel Rosenstein" has a tagline that brings joy to me - All she wants for hanukkah is Christmas - which really is funny because all i ever wanted for Christmas was Christmas and Hanukkah (and a boyfriend). It seems as though after hearing the 2 authors talk on friday at the upper west side barnes and noble, it's Hanukkah they really want for Christmas. Indeed, Amanda went on about her Hanukkah (substituting her words), is spectacular. Perhaps she'll invite me to hers. But really, after listening to their story of a young jewish girl longing for Christmas and finding herself with her parents at the local Chinese restaurant seeing other non christmas practicing neighbors on Christmas day, i felt a little sad. I asked the 2 authors, could you have not written a different ending? their response: "Im inclusive." "it's important to celebrate all holidays". The group was confused. Members of the audience began to group up on Amanda a little. But in the end, the ending seem to satisfy. I myself was unsure. I loved the story, though. It is a true delight. .....
