Holiday spirit (heh heh) stuff to do in the 'burgh

* The borough of Sewickley is offering free carriage rides Wednesday nights from 6-8PM and on the following Saturdays: 12/12 and 12/19 11AM to 1PM.

This link for more info, including a street map of where exactly one goes to find this in Sewickley (which is north-ish of Pittsburgh).

* The Gypsy Cafe in Pittsburgh's South Side is offering two different haunted Christmas events...
12/9 and 12/16 (both Wednesdays) at 8PM - Christmas Dinner served with Goosebumps (Christmas themed ghost stories) - reservations required
12/12 (this Saturday) at 1PM - "GHOST TOUR SPECIAL EVENTS: Christmas Teas! All the spooky goodness of our Haunted Pittsburgh Ghost Dinner with a festive infusion of Christmas creepiness! On selected December Saturday afternoons, enjoy a proper tea with a Gypsy twist and spooky holiday tales to stir your cup!"

(Also, Sundays feature the option to have a Tarot reading done for you during dinner.)

* Station Square brings us the option to reserve a ride for a Carriage Ride into Pittsburgh's Ghostly Past! "Thursdays at 7:00 PM and 8:15 PM and Saturdays at 8:30. Price is $35 per person, four passenger minimum. Groups of 6 or more are $30 per person. For reservations call : (412) 913-0664"

And for all you zombie lovers...
* This Sunday, Monroeville Mall brings you the chance to sit on Zombie Santa's lap and tell him what you want for Christmas! Click here for more info! (Photo packages are $10, which seems wicked cheap to me.)


(Ya know..for the first time, I'm kinda impressed by Pittsburgh. This is a good amount of spooky $WINTERHOLIDAY fun!)
