I’ll let you in on a little secret. I didn’t want to tell you where I am staying in the East Village. Not because I don’t want you to know, but hey, let’s face it, if word gets out, then I’m in the media, paparazzi is all over me, and to tell you the truth; I’m staying with friends. They just wouldn’t be able to handle the attention.

Anywhoo, I have another secret. Christmas magic isn’t about gifts and shopping or baking. That’s all nice but the real magic is the Christmas in people Today, East Village... you really showed me a good time. Wow! Nice points galore! You get nice points! You get nice points!

EVERYBODY GETS NICE POINTS!

Checked out St. Patrick’s Island. Went for a bike ride with this guy (he’s totally on Santa’s A list). Met the gals for a picnic (they know how to roll). I met Mike He took me for a ride on a seriously tricked out red scooter (Santa digs red). Speaking of scooters, saw a duo of lovely ladies struggling with a scooter mishap. Let’s just say that the two men who stopped to help are definitely on Santa’s “nice” list. Remember; Derek is watching.
