HGTV Hosts Holiday Celebration in NYC
Nov. 30, 2006 — -- Home and Garden TV hosts "Make It Home for the Holidays," a four-day celebration in New York City's Greeley Square Park, on 33rd St. and 6th Ave.

To kickoff the celebration Thursday, a "Parade of Pedaling Santas," representing the 50 states and the District of Columbia, will take a pedi-cab ride to Greeley Square Park.
The Santas will transport HGTV's charitable contribution to Rebuilding Together, a national non-profit organization that ensures that homeowners in need can live in warmth, safety and independence.
In addition, visitors will have a chance to enter a daily on-site drawing for a $2,500 travel certificate to help their families "Make it Home for the Holidays."
