Here's a way to get into the holiday spirit -- a reading of Clement Clarke Moore's "The Night Before Christmas," performed by a gaggle of Marylanders. You'll see Ravens Joe Flacco and Michael Oher, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra conductor Marin Alsop, chef Bryan Voltaggio, Olympic skater Kimmie Meissner and Nobel Prize winner Carol W. Greider, among others. Enjoy!
Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.

something abt a parade of "personalities" seems bogus to me

My idea of a holiday cheer is visiting the lights in Hampden, and the relaxing with a the movie "Scrooged," the Christmas Carol remix with Bill Murray. And maybe some egg nog spiked with Canadian Club.
