December 15, 2015 Finger Lakes Connected ENewsletter
Christmas songs are the best, aren't they? What is your favorite? Mine is Drummer Boy and I especially like the Bob Seger Version. Wait, no...I also really like Merry Christmas, Baby and no one sings that one better than Bruce Springsteen. And Madonna does a really sexy Santa, Baby, just sayin'. Ok, ok, Here is this week's FINGER LAKES CONNECTED. Website pics will be up soon. There are so many great ones and I want to give credit where it is due. I'm sorry for the delay but there is a lot going on this time of year, isn't there?
