I last weekend in Pittsburgh, Penn. for Light Up Night, the Steel City's annual kickoff for the Holiday Season.
While other cities sometimes have trouble with the concept of separating church and state around Christmas, Pittsburgh had no trouble blasting Christmas carols and fireworks from the juncture of the famed three rivers. And the crowds had no problem with it, either: Despite temperatures in the twenties, hundreds if not thousands of natives and tourists gathered in the streets of downtown.
Perhaps most appropriately, the downtown Macy's unveiled a series of window displays of Santa and his elves making toys, Christmas ornaments, and other traditional hoiday emblems. The common theme for the series was, approporiately enough, "Believe." Can anyone want anything more out of Christmas?
