Christmas Eve means many local churches are holding services, especially for families with young children. My family of 8 spent $25,000 on an all-inclusive resort in Mexico. We ended up disappointed.

A holiday tradition continued Tuesday night as thousands attended Christmas Eve mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Midtown.

Thousands of people gathered at St. Patrick's Cathedral on Christmas Day to celebrate the holiday. It is especially surprising that one of the first federal agencies to come under scrutiny from the incoming administration is one that has returned billions of dollars to many of the same consumers who were counting on leaders in Washington to look out for their wallets.

THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL HELD CHRISTMAS MASS DRAWN BY THE MUSIC, THE STAINED GLASS, THE FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS AND THE SPIRIT THAT FILLS THOSE PEWS.
