I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season and is ready for the new year. This was a very different Christmas for me and many I know back in the New Orleans area. A more reflective Christmas for me, definitely.
But anyway...did you receive a neat Christmas/Chanukah gift or two? Anything Broadway-related?
(Nothing Broadway-related for me, but we did have meat pies on Christmas Eve.)
Among my gifts were new luggage, The Muppet Show season 1 DVD, and money for my savings account (for when I'm ready to travel for interviews and move). It was a good Christmas.

I got a Broadway watch and books about Ethel Merman and the history of Vaudeville. I also got money to help pay for the airfare to Avery Fisher Hall.
I hope everyone had a good holiday season and a wonderful New Year.

Rose, is the Ethel Merman book the one that was just published a few months ago? I have that one, but haven't read it. I heard it's um...uneven.
Gypsy1527, I have the Playbill yearbook as well, and enjoy it very much. Too bad they didn't start this sooner, such as three years ago (can it be nearly that long ago?)

I got some fun Broadway related stuff this year:
Broadway the American Musical (3 DVD set)
Broadway's Lost Treasures 1
Broadway's Lost Treasures 2
Broadway's Lost Treasures 3
Wizard of Oz collectors DVD set
Rodgers and Hammerstein DVD collection
Playbill Yearbook
Broadway Musicals : The 101 Greatest Shows of All Time
Wicked: The Grimmerie
Plus, I am seeing Wicked at the Kennedy Center tomorrow afternoon!
By the way, I enjoyed our "mini-meeting" today of the MD area board members-or those in MD this week. We'll have to do it again sometime.

Mandy, I really enjoyed our "Fanadette--Maryland Chapter" lunch yesterday. And what a treat to finally, after 6 (!) years, to meet a long-time poster, to see how one of our college students is progressing--and growing--, and of course to finally have a real chat with you outside of Shubert Alley.
To keep on point, although I don't celebrate Christmas or Hannukah, I guess I'll say that going to Longwood Gardens/Winterthur to see the holiday displays was my own personal celebration. (Hmm-last year I went to Atlantic City on Christmas....)

I did get The Muppet Show season 1 DVD, which includes quite a few Broadway performers. The Ethel Merman episode is my favorite.
(I looked to see when season 2-with Bernadette's episode-will be released, but it's not listed on Amazon yet.)

That Fanadette-Maryland Chapter meeting sounded more like a summit to me.
I got new luggage for my world travels, a gift certificate for use at Lincoln Center, the dvd of Cappricio, an opera which stars Renee Fleming, some charms, a book about Kate Hepburn and a Texas Longhorns cap to wear all day on January 4th!

I put the Muppet Show DVD on my wish list but Santa didnt bring it. My list also said someone bought me the Sound of Music DVD but for some reason I haven't gotten that either.
