Christmas Shows in AC
During the past few years, critics of the Atlantic City casino scene have often sited a lack of family-style activities as one of the knocks against the town. That particular complaint melts away like freshly fallen snow when the holiday season rolls around every year. And, while there might not be quite as many holiday-themed shows this year, there is one top shelf example of the genre in town,
Christmas in Hershey
