SHOW
Now through January 26,

NY Botanical Garden
2900 Southern Blvd., Bronx
nybg.org
718 817 8700
The Garden had to move
the venue of this year’s train
show because the conservatory
is being renovated. But don’t
worry, the new place is mere feet
away. This year’s show showcases
Central Park. Everything
you see (except for the trains,
duh) is made out of natural
materials that takes artisans
and craftspeople months to put
together. This is a great place to
take the kids, but adults, don’t
forget about “Bar Car Nights”
for visitors 21 and over. Tickets
start at $10 for children and $30
for grown-ups; visit the website
for more info.

Okay, so
here’s another

show. Don’t
shoot the
messenger! Some of you may
remember the old movie starring
Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye
and it’s a nostalgic favorite for

fun! Tickets start at 25; contact

ART EXHIBIT: THE
SEASONS

of 20th Century artists, including
Jasper Johns, Norman Rockwell
and Marc Chagall. Quite eclectic! The
concept is that the array of art represents
each season of the year through
paintings, sculpture and photography.
There’s even a little fashion thrown in,
with a special showcase of accessories
by the iconic handbag designer Judith
Leiber. Tickets are $15 for adults up to
age 62; $10 for 62+; kids 4 to 12, $5
and free for little tykes under 4.

December! This family fave is
back at Kupferberg, this time
performed by the National
Ballet Theater of Odessa.
Unlike most things these days,
tickets prices have not gone
up and range from $23 to $42,
same as last year.
Out &
About
BY JILL DAVIS
Here we go again, diving into
the heart of the holiday season.
Chanukah starts on Sunday,
December 22 and is celebrated until
Monday, December 30. Christmas
sneaks in there on Wednesday,
December 25 (the worst day for
it to fall on since it messes up the
potential for a nice three-day weekend.
But next year’s a leap year, so
Christmas will be on a Friday!).
To help us manage through all
the chaos, enjoy the following holiday
quips:
No self-respecting mother would
run out of intimidations on the
eve of a major holiday. – Erma
Bombeck
Marry an orphan; you’ll never
have to spend boring holidays with
the in-laws. – George Carlin
What do you call people
who are afraid of Santa Claus?
Claustrophobic.–Anonymous
I once bought my kids a set of
batteries for Christmas with a note
on it saying, toys not included. –
Bernard Manning
Anyone who believes that
men are the equal of women has
never seen a man trying to wrap
a Christmas present.–Anonymous
The one thing women don’t
want to find in their stockings on
Christmas morning is their husband.
– Joan Rivers
The worst gift is a fruitcake.
There is only one fruitcake in the
entire world, and people keep sending
it to each other. – Johnny
Carson
Once again we find ourselves
enmeshed in the Holiday Season,
that very special time of year when
we join with our loved ones in sharing
centuries-old traditions such as
trying to find a parking space at
the mall. We traditionally do this
in my family by driving around the
parking lot until we see a shopper
emerge from the mall, then we
follow her, in very much the same
spirit as the Three Wise Men, who
2,000 years ago followed a star,
week after week, until it led them
to a parking space. – Dave Barry
Happy Chanukah, Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year
to one and all! Check out some of
