The thing I miss most during the holidays is the chestnut roasters on the corners. That we don't have in Delaware.
There is nothing like a bag of hot chestnuts while walking along looking at the lights of NYC.
On the other hand we've got people around here that have no compunction about the electric bills and do lights like you would not believe. Some of the displays make mid-town Manhattan look like child's play. And you've got to know that is a tough thing for a New Yorker to say.
