I have always felt that New York City does Christmas in such an amazing way and it is so magical to be there at this time of year. From looking at the tree at Rockefeller Center and then you turn around and see the snowflake show on Sak's Fifth Avenue...
The angels in the Channel Gardens at Rockefeller are a crowd favorite and are stored in the basement of Rockefeller Center each year until they are rolled out once again. But they are not the only decorations. Below are the wonderful giant ornaments that prove to be a favorite picture background for tourists.
And you cannot forget about Radio City Music Hall that is in the background of the above picture that has the huge Christmas Show that in 90 minutes gets you in the Christmas spirit whether you like it or not!
Retail stores go all out with their fabulous windows and then there are those that just go over the top like Cartier above that "wraps" their store with a huge bow and below is Macy's which always reminds you to Believe.
This view is one I have seen many times coming from the Newark airport on the bus into Port Authority in Manhattan. It tells me I have arrived with the Empire State Building decked out in holiday colors. Quite the skyline and one that you just never really forget about.
And it would not be Christmas in New York without the fabulous Rockettes. They are truly the holiday ambassadors to all and such a crowd pleaser. How they keep up that energy when doing up to 5 shows a day and have 4-6 numbers in each show. So exhausting and yet so much fun. Merry Christmas and thanks for the walk down memory lane.
