Fast Forward to October pre-Sandy, a bunch of us were in the office talking about Christmas in NYC because several of our new employees are from different areas of the country. As a group we decided that we should see The Christmas Show at Radio City, and that is how I ended up seeing the Rockettes and the Christmas Tree.
Can I tell you that I had so much fun! The Tree is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G as pictured below...
...Radio City is just awesome since they restored it!
Then to top the night off, I had my picture taken with a Rockette!
Yes, corny I know but soooooo much fun! *LOL*
There will be sewing this weekend. Last weekend, I completed a few things that need to be photographed...and now I've gotten it into my head that I need to make pjs for the grandkids and the younger nieces & nephews. I don't know if that's actually going to happen but I think I'm gonna give it a really good try!
Finally a little Christmas music to go with the tree...
...as always more later!
How beautiful and Christmasey! I lived upstate for 15+ years and never saw Nyc at Christmas. Glad you had fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, happy childhood memories. I can remember when the Christmas Show and ockettes were the enticement to get you to come watch the movie at Radio City!! You must have all had a terrific time.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! There is nothing quite like Christmas in NYC. My family went a few years ago and had a great time.... it was especially exciting coming up from South Carolina!!! Your pictures are beautiful!!! We have been having 70 degrees plus days and it just doesn't quite feel like Christmas here yet.
ReplyDeleteSomeday this Idaho gal will see the tree....someday:) Merry Christmas! ~Teri
ReplyDeleteLove the photos! I am sure that it is very beautiful live and in person.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so jealous! It looks like you had a fabulous time. Wonder if I could get JB to visit New York at Christmas time? g
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these photos. We have a summer Christmas and I do love seeing real winter Christmases. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Last year we went with the grandchildren to see the Rockettes Christmas show at the Wang Center in Boston. It was such fun and the children loved it. So did Grandma!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it special how we see the world new again through the eyes of children?
I've never seen the tree or been to NYC and enjoyed the details of the photo. Television never seems to show it all that well-it all looks quite grand. I like your outfit-very seasonal and sophisticated with the black jacket and pearls.Until now I never thought of wanting a red dress-very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I have only been to NYC in the humid summer and winter looks lovely, just like a movie. (so many good ones set in NYC)
ReplyDeleteMy kids just told me they remember when they cut the tree down from the mountains behind our house and brought it down the road on it's way to New York. We lived in Wolf Creek, Oregon. My daughter said she remembers it was going by some ice skating rink in NY, that was about 20 years ago. She was wondering where they got this tree, I had assumed the tree grew there all year, haha.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I'm hoping my family will plan to do something Christmasey.
ReplyDeleteAw, you know, I don't mind living in the south, the family is here, but I sure miss things like this...sigh- I'm glad you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteFun, Fun, Fun! Both of those things are on my bucket list. And of course I wanted to be always wanted to be a Rockette but the closest I got was high school dance line, LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the photos!
Oh wow, what a fun evening you must have had. That tree is stunning. How cool to see it in person!
