"There's no Place Like New York for the Holidays" by Garrison Keillor

In this Editorial by Garrison Keillor, he gives an interesting comparison of New York City and Minnesota. He pointed out that the Christmas tree in Rice Park St. Paul is taller than the tree at Rockefeller in New York (90ft to 72), but that Minnesotans don't care. We don't care because, unlike New York, we are modest people. The article go's on talking about the differences between New York and Minnesota, and how New York is a great place to be for the Holidays. I liked reading this article because I had never thought about the social differences between where I live and New York, and how your geography has an influence on what kind of a person you may be.
