Christmas in NYC

I love NYC at Christmas and we try to visit there every year.

We were extremely lucky that this Saturday the weather was fairly warm - 43 degrees and partly sunny. There have been other years when it is so cold and blustery that you wonder if you are crazy for spending hours wandering 5th Avenue.

While in NYC, we did all the tourist activities. It started with a visit to St. Patrick's. Whenever we go to St. Patrick's I am always amazed at the architecture and the beautiful stained glass. There was a hand carved wooden Nativity that was amazing.

Shelton, CT's most famous tree - currently on display in Rockefeller Center was gorgeous.

We visited all the store windows - Saks, Lord and Taylor, Macy's. Our favorite theme was the the snow people at Saks.

No visit would be complete with a stop in the Diamond District and a chance to see all the beautiful ice on display in the shop windows.
