Boston (not the band)

I would really like to get a chance to go to Boston before Christmas is over. I've never been down there around that time of year and I've been told its absolutely breathtaking when its all decorated and such. New York would be great too but Boston is a little more accessible. I could just hop on the train and spend the day shopping and eating and enjoying the scenery...sounds lovely! If only i had that kind of money to be spending indiscriminately. Today some guy on Oprah won 250,000 dollars for winning a karaoke contest out of only 3 people! I want 250 K! Well, I'm sure he deserved it but really, for singing karaoke? Oh well, guess ill just have to dream up my own little Boston winter wonderland and hope for some snow to make me feel a little better. What am i saying though? Its not even Thanksgiving yet!! I really need to stop thinking about x-mas..ITS SO HARD THOUGH!! Christmas is just so wonderful. Only 42 days to go!!
