    Visitors cheer as The Blues Brothers belt out holiday tunes. They oooh and ahhh as the giantGingerbread Man balloon floats down the street in New York City.

    I read the posts every November. “Best holiday attractions in Philadelphia.” I endeavor to visit at least one new attraction each year, but the list of have-not-done-yets continues to shrink.
