The light show and village open to the public Friday and if you’re in Philly this holiday season I highly recommend taking this amazing tradition in as it’s going on hiatus while the building is being renovated.

Seeing the Sugarmans joy made me even more joyful and the way they invited my husband and I to experience the Dickens Village with them - as each member of their crew took turns reading the story plaques - reminded me of the real spirit of the season.

In January, I had the honor of sharing the story of why Northeast Philly dad Lance Sugarman has a tattoo of the Wanamaker Christmas light show on his arm and why it means so much to his family. 🧵

The guys used to sweep the street with janitor brooms, “just so our kids could come out and play without glass around,” Masucci said.
“Neighbors would be like, ‘Oh, it’s nice, but it’s really dusty,’ and I’d be like, ‘God! There’s gotta be a better way,’” he said.

These South Philly dads bought personal street sweepers for their block: ‘It’s like a little Zamboni’
The German device isn't marketed for street cleaning, but when brooms weren't enough to keep their kids safe from broken glass and debris on their block, these three men got ingenious with it.

I’m that person that buys the biggest turkey possible the day or two before Thanksgiving. It makes people worry that I don’t know what I’m doing because there’s no way it’ll defrost by Thursday.
But really it’s for Friendsgiving several days later, and yes I got a 24.8 pound buddy. ON SALE.

That’s what I’m looking at for the next few weeks. Easy enough to do with the pots, spiders, and thermometers I have. But I do have a project coming up that will require a lot of frying, ongoing for maybe more than a year, so dedicated equipment makes a bit of sense

Welp. After 35 years, my workhorse deep fryer/slow cooker combo has died. Time to set him out to pasture.
Any of you fry daddies/mamís have a model recommendation for a home-sized deep fryer? (Air fryers are a separate convo.) Doesn’t have to multitask—just looking for a solid, reliable deep fryer.
