Christmas

It's that time of year when we take down the decorations and the Christmas tree. If you had a real tree up this year, here are several ways you can recycle your tree and go green this season.

Your Christmas tree has served its purpose and probably starting to dry out. You could put that tree out of its misery and get something in return this New Year's Eve. A local brewery is holding a giant bonfire.

There was a Sears department store in every mall throughout New York state when we were growing up. Around Christmas time, our parents would always take out the Sears Holiday Wish Book catalog and tell us to circle what we wanted Santa to bring us. Here is a catalog from the 1980s for you to flip through and take a trip down memory lane!

In just a few days, the big guy will take to the skies and fly around the world delivering toys to good little boys and girls. Right now he's making his list and checking it twice. There is a way your whole family can track Santa Claus as he travels the globe on Christmas Eve.

You can still eat outside during the winter at these restaurants that offer enchanted igloos. There are three restaurants that are offering this unique and cool dining option. The Barrel in Bolton Landing, The Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls, and The Inn at Erlowest in Lake George.

If you love the board game Clue or any murder mystery, you have to pick this up this holiday season. It was created by the Saratoga Springs History Museum and benefits the organization. It's a fun game and a history lesson to boot.

You gotta love the show of Christmas spirit at a local elementary school - literally, above, and way beyond -  but totally worth it!  See the photos below. "It was not a boring Monday here at South Glens Falls. The children of Tanglewood were having a ball; since The Elf on the Shelf brings joy to all. ⛄🌲"  Sou...

This Saturday, December 17th, thousands of holiday wreaths will be placed on local veterans' gravestones at the Gerald B.H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery. They need more volunteers and you can help.

Ask anyone in the Capital Region where to get the best pizza and have a great meal and they would mention this legendary restaurant in Watervliet. It is the end of an amazing run, a fifty-year run to be exact. The owners said it was time.

We all love getting and giving gift cards but it seems like there is always a catch. Now new laws have been passed that protect the consumer when getting or giving a gift card. Here's what you need to know.

You have to make this place your next stop for anything and everything Christmas this holiday season.

Were you there? Check out Walker Hayes at Frog Alley in Schenectady for WGNA's Jingle Jam. Duo Renee and Dave from Skeeter Creek kicked off the show and Walker Hayes brought his amazing set with a little bit of storytelling in between. Proceeds from GNA's Jingle Jam benefitted Shop With a Cop which helps less fortunate families in the Capital Region go Christmas shopping for the holiday with law enforcement. Thank you GNA Nation!
