"City sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style. In the air there's the feeling of Christmas." The first line to one of my favorite christmas songs, Silver Bells, happens to be fitting to the day I spent in New York City last Saturday. I have such fond memories playing this song on the piano every Christmas while my sister sang along. Anyhow, the city was hopping. My mom, sister and aunt go to NYC every year the first Saturday in December, along with about five billion other people to see the tree at Rockefeller Center. It was VERY crowded, but I don't mind. I love the hustle and bustle and seeing the city decorated for the season. The weather was perfection. Simply unheard of for this time of year. I did not even need gloves. Gasp! Typically we are freezing, but not this year. We even saw people eating outdoors at restaurants. I love the warmth. When I say warmth I am only talking about 55 degrees, but this time of year it feels like 80!
The trees were simply beautiful!
Saint Patrick's Cathedral is just breathtaking!
The tree at Rockefeller Center. We did not skate on this trip, but I have in the past. It is so much fun!
This is the tree at Bryant Park. I just love this park. It has the cutest shops and eateries. It also happens to be where Fashion week takes place every fall!
Times Square!
Times Square has its fair share of entertainment including the "naked Cowboy" who plays the guitar in his underwear all year round! Go figure!
We did lots of shopping and ate the best food. Yum!
I just love New York City. If I was single I just might live there! Ha! Can't wait to go back!
HOW fun. New York city is on my bucket list of things to do! Looks SO much fun! And warmer weather ~ what a blessing!
