Join them as they talk about the first Christmas tree lighting in the United States! They learn about the inventor of Christmas lights and how they became a staple to the holiday season in NYC.

Kelly and John then turn their attention to music! They talk about the origins of “I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause”, “Santa Baby” and “Need a little Christmas”.

And finally to close out the year, John and Kelly talk about ringing in the new year! John tells Kelly about the history of the Times Square New Year’s Eve party. They talk about their experiences going to the event and tell listeners what they need to know if they want to go themselves which they say that everyone should experience at least once.

But above all else; Santa Clause is a New Yorker.
