Sorry to all you NJ fans but I just can't stand to be there any longer than a week during the holidays and then it's out of there again.
Mike you hit the nail right on the head. 64 year New Jerseyite from the Jersey Shore that now goes back 1 week at Christmas for family. That's the only reason I leave paradise.....And GracieGirl.... you can only wish that Ohio had tomatoes and corn 1/2 as good as Jersey .
