About this episode

Our stories today center around the holiday season and take place downtown and in the neighborhoods surrounding it. We'll meet up with friends for the tree lighting and watch the first flakes fall in Bustle in the City. Then we'll celebrate the first night of Hannukah with family and relive a sweet memory from childhood in Light a Candle. Finally, we'll unpack our wares downtown and get a cup of something warming from a street vender in Winter Market.
