Morning Brief: December 15
There are lots of things to enjoy about the holiday season. Everything from seasonal coffee drinks served in red cups, to hot mulled wine, to the decorations. Also of note are holiday villages and fairs. There are the well-known ones at Union Square and Bryant Park, but there's also one in Grand Central that could add a bit of cheer to a stressful commute.
