It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

...everywhere we go!!!! 

It's Christmastime in New York City, and we are loving it!!! Everything is all dressed up, every restaurant, every store front, every street it seems. So we had to get our tree up as soon as our guests left after Thanksgiving.

Here's Tyler getting it all set up. 

 The finished tree!!! and Spencer, and Spongebob. :) 

 Beautiful tree!!!

 Here is one of Macy's store windows. Their store takes up almost a whole block, so on one side of the block they have these puppets in the windows that move, then on another side they have the story of Yes, Virginia, which Spencer loved.

Even the water fountains are all dressed up for Christmas!!!

A drummer over near Rockefeller Center.

A HUGE wreath and bow at Trump Tower. Pretty much every building has a huge wreath inside their lobbies, even the residential apartment buildings. It's so fun to walk by and see the Christmas trees, wreaths, lights and menorahs for Hanukkah. 

And here she is!!! The Rockefeller Christmas Tree!!! It is HUGE, this picture doesn't even make it look that big, but it is beautiful and gorgeous and big. 

Bergdorf Goodman with wreaths in most of the windows! There is also a huge snowflake hanging in the middle of the street here too. You can see the lower part of it right above the E 57th St. sign.

A closer look.

I also wanted to show you this video, but for some reason I cannot get the movie off of my iPhone to put on here. So I will just tell you the story. We were walking around Rockefeller Center when we saw up on the side of the Saks Fifth Avenue store this video countdown put up on the side of the building! We wondered what it could be counting down to, so we waited...for 6 minutes, and watched the countdown. While waiting we were worried that it would be for nothing, and it was all a little joke. But alas, the countdown was done and it was a not a joke. There was a little show of pipes going every which way and windows opening where the buildings windows were, and snow falling on the side of the building. Kind of like a movie being shown up onto the wall of the building, but the video windows fitting right where the real windows were. It was pretty awesome, and it had music with it. It lasted for about 2 minutes, then went right back to a 13 minute countdown. 

See!!!! This is what New York City has for Christmas!!! Such fun things!! If you can ever come up here during Christmas, please come!! It's a most wonderful, fabulous time of year up here (as is pretty much every other time here).
