We took the kids into the city last night to get a glimpse of the 88 foot Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center.
The tree was magnificent with its 30,000 lights. Adding to the excitement, we looked on with hundreds of people as a man proposed to his girlfriend on the ice skating rink beneath the tree. The whole crowd cheered their congratulations.
This is my absolute favorite New York experience. Directly across the street from the tree is Saks 5th Avenue. The entire side of the building is covered in these giant snowflake lights. Every 20 minutes or so, they give a spectacular lights show, choreographed to "Carol of the Bells". It is so loud, so full of energy, and oh so Christmasy!

Hi, I am Tricia Seguine's sister. Thanks for the blog! I am going up to NY City with some of my girlfriends this month to see the Rockettes and the city! Now I am even more excited after seeing your blog! We will definitely check out Saks!
Oh man! I am SO jealous! I've always wanted to see that. How cool!
