Merry Christmas!

What would Hoxsie like for Christmas? Perhaps the first commercial Christmas card in the U.S. Printed right here in Albany, of course. Learn about it from All Over Albany.

Then read about how the legendary poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas” was first published right here in Troy.

Then think about what it would have been like to have done your Christmas shopping at H.S. Barney, Schenectady’s greatest store, back in 1904.

Then go get some figgy pudding. Merry Christmas!
