A Few Holiday Traditions in New York City

[puppetmaker]

Today we are going into New York City to see a screening of Tintin. That’s happening pretty early so after that we plan to do a few things that we try to do every year before Christmas.
 
First on our list (since the film is at the Ziegfeld) is to go see the tree at Rockefeller center and watch the ice skaters. Seeing the tree is easy. Getting a decent picture with the tree is much harder. Yes, they have managed to make some of positions where you use to go and get your picture taken now “professional” areas where they want you to pay for the privilege of getting a photo.
 
The windows down 5^th avenue which can be a challenge but Caroline is getting taller.
 
FAO Shwartz is one of the few stores on our list. It is fun to go in and see what they have for sale and the What-Not Muppet section is a must visit for us.
 
There is something about the hustle and bustle of the holiday season in New York City that is unique to NYC and we plan to go and enjoy it.
 
I am grateful for Holiday Cheer in NYC.

They're making people pay to take pictures from certain angles at the Rock? Really? Well, that'll dampen my holiday spirits when I'm there. Bleh.

Manhattan at Christmas is one of my favorite places, but I haven't been there for over 10 years. My cousin went last week and said it is still magical. Hope you have a fabulous time!

My other favorite place in that area is The Cloisters. Have you been there?
