January 3, 2013 One thing is certain about our Big Frog 104 listeners and people in central New York, you're very generous. This past December, I had the pleasure of broadcasting live at the Stewart's Shops in Little Falls, to raise awareness of their annual Holiday Match Campaign supporting local children's charities, and once again it was quite successful.

December 24, 2012 We all know the mistletoe drill, stand under it and you get a kiss. Now, where did this custom come about, and just what is mistletoe? Has anyone ever grown the stuff in their garden?
December 24, 2012 Tonight is Christmas Eve. Families gather, share a meal, enjoy a glass of eggnog and bask in the warmth of each others company. There are as many Christmas Eve traditions as there are families and here a few that you might identify with.
Have you ever wondered how Rudolph got his red nose? Well, Dutch scientists have finally explained the mystery. Turns out, the reindeer's shiny nose is the direct result of "hyperemia of the nasal mucosa." Way to take all the magic out of Christmas, science.

December 22, 2012 One thing I miss about the old VHS recorder in the Greg "Splashin'" McShea household is playing all of the holiday TV shows I taped over the years. We used to watch those holiday shows every year, commercials and all. One year, when I recorded "A Charlie Brown Christmas" off the TV network, there was a very cute TV commercial for McDonald's.
December 21, 2012 At Big Frog 104, we like to keep you informed of local holiday events. On Saturday night, the Earlville Opera House travels to Cazenovia to present "Irish Christmas in America".
December 21, 2012 New York City during the Christmas season has quite a feel of holiday excitement. From the huge Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center and skaters to the incredible storefront decorations, it's truly unique. And, of course it's even more dramatic at night.
December 21, 2012 The excitement of Christmas morning leads to a number of different styles when it comes to opening those gifts. Elayne Kahn, author of "1001 More Ways You Reveal Your Personality" says your method of opening presents says a lot about who you are. Check out the different styles and see if you identify with any. You just might learn something about yourself.
December 20, 2012 Remember how everyone went Gangnam Style for decorating at Halloween? Susan Truax's parents' home in Schuyler even joined in the fun. Now their at it again for Christmas. Susan was kind enought to share some pics and videos of the home.
