Christmas in New York is something special, I cannot lie. The only negative I can think of about the holidays in the city is probably the cold and the crowds. I consider the crowds to be worse than the cold and I cannot bear the cold winter nights. Aside from crowds and freezing temperatures, the city that never sleeps truly becomes extra magical when Christmas comes to town. There are lights everywhere, large holidays figures and statues, beautiful lite up trees, and shop windows that hold mini masterpieces within them.
The city stops being its usual grey and brown self and it embraces the colors and themes of the holiday season. Add to that the Radio City Christmas Spectacular with the iconic Rockettes, a slew of Broadway shows, restaurants decorated to the hilt, holiday music playing everywhere, Macy's Santaland experience, holiday food markets, and the ice skating that happens at Rockefeller Center and Bryant Park. Those are just a few things that shine the brightest in our usually grungy city.
The city comes alive during the holidays in ways that leave even the most jaded New Yorkers in awe. Here is a peak at what New York looked like during the 1960's. There was shopping, the welcoming of the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, the decorated windows, the random Santas, and of course The Rockettes. What do you think about New York during the holidays? Have you ever had the chance to visit or would you like to visit one day?
