With Cinco de Mayo around the corner, a few of you may be wondering, what exactly is Cinco de Mayo? Put down that sweet margarita and let us enlighten you.

Easter is just around the corner and for many, it is their favorite holiday.  Are you among them?

My son Dylan and I had a quest yesterday. To find the Easter Bunny near our home in Utica NY.  We were successful in two out of our three visits.

With a name like McShea, you know that I'm a wee bit Irish. And one food item that I look forward to at St. Patrick's time is Irish Soda bread. If you've never had it, it's like a combination raisin bread-rye bread, but looks more like a muffin. What?

Who cut the cheese?

Christmas traditions around the world can be quite different from what we’re used to at home.

This is fantastic: a family tradition that started 34 years ago and still going strong, now with another generation.

It's beginning to look a LOT like Christmas.

Thanksgiving is on record as being America’s second-favorite holiday (Christmas wins first prize, of course), so it makes sense that Thanksgiving lore is a part of our shared cultural history and something we start learning early in our lives. But it turns out a lot of what we think we know about Turkey Day is wrong.

The holidays can bring out people's stranger sides, and Thanksgiving is no exception.
