It's Christmas in Cincinnati and Chili all the Time

Good news, my little snowflakes, Ray and I’s Christmas video is ready for primetime, just in the Jolly Old Saint Nick of time.

The star of this year’s holiday spectacular is our fair city — Fountain Square, Graeter’s, Skyline, the Roebling. Basically, all of the things we love set to Jake Speed and the Freddies’ perfect holiday ode to home, ‘Queen City Christmas.’

The only thing missing is someone asking you where you went to high school.*

Some of our friends, neighbors and an assortment of ice skaters knowingly (and unknowingly) make cameos this year. And as it turns out, driving a stick shift across the Roebling while holding a camera is no easy feat. But thankfully, I filmed most of it from the passenger seat of Ray’s car while he drove me around.

Santa’s merry magic is just two short days away. So here’s hoping your stockings are soon to be stuffed with Graeter’s gift cards, Union Terminal bookends and a sixer of Rhinegeist Truth. Because nothing says happy holidays like letting Aunt Betty know you’ll need that gift receipt. #truth #hurts

Merry Christmas and happy 2017!

*In truth, I’ve lived here for 15 years and I’ve never been asked where I went to high school. I feel a bit cheated.
