I've written about Sesame Place before. You can search for it, but it's probably full of broken links, missing images and gimmick commenters.
You know what? You should look for that!
In the meantime...
Sesame Place is a kiddie park and I have a kid... but I'm not fooling anyone, I enjoy it more than my son.
Normally the park shuts down at Halloween and stays shut until it's springtime.
But this year, they transformed the place into a tacky (in a good way) winter wonderland.
Characters dress in winter scarves. Stage shows about jingle bells and 2 different places to meet Santa... actually that's pretty weird. It's not that big of a place. Must be a union thing.
At night they light the place up, and it snows on Sesame Street. Every night.
The shows are all fun. Most are your standard Santa and jingle bells stuff. The Elmo's World Happy Holidays show is a bit of an exception. It's based on the home video of the same name.
The DVD covers the birth of Jesus, Kwanza and Chanukah.
This version is abridged but gives a nice overview of the three holidays.
To me few things say "merry Christmas" like fake facades and costumed characters. I know that's weird... but I am glad there's a place to find that just outside Central Jersey.
I haven't been to Sesame Place since I was a kid but I have fond memories of all the rides that have probably been torn down for being unsafe.
