It was nice to recall the tunes and to be able to understand the words of the tunes of yesteryear. Another stop was at the Syracuse China outlet store, where we stocked up on Christmas stocking gifts and necessary things for our kitchens. We then toured around Onondaga Lake where we saw the most elaborate, beautiful and colorful light show titled, 'Light up the Lake.'
