Christmas Fun in NY - Part II

One week away from Christmas and NY is all ready to receive Saint Nicholas. With so many things to do in NY, we never know where to start and where to go next. So, here are a few more useful tips for you to enjoy as much as you can in the city on Christmas time.

When passing by the Rockefeller Center, which is even more beautiful this time of the year, you might want to stop to see the 3D light show on fifth Avenue at the Saks building. I was there last year and the one before, and before, and before, but still haven't had a chance to stop by this year and, honestly, I am desperate to go.  ;) It's pretty impressive! Here is a little bit of what you will see this year. You can't miss it!

You can also go to Bryant Park, whether you like to ice skate or not. Even if you don't want to ice skate, you can just stop to enjoy the vista and do some holidays shopping or eat some of their delicious sweet popcorn. It's a nice trip to do at night or in the afternoon, just make sure you keep yourself warm. Moreover, if you have a skate, you won't even have to pay for it. Just bring your own skates and have a great time!

• For those who like a good musical, A Christmas story The Musical, Elf, the musical, A Christmas Carol are great options!

• The Outstanding New York City Balltet - The Nutcracker, which is a MUST SEE show, is being performed at Lincoln Center until december 30th. You must not miss that one. Click on the underlined words to find out information and watch a video about the events. 

• And the last, but not least is Central Park. We can't forget ice skating in the most beautiful park in the city. In addition to the great view, you also have the option to stop at the Boat House and have a glass of wine. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? What else can we ask for? How can you not like my Big Apple?  I just love it!  <3

With all those options is impossible not to have the best Christmas in New York. I am already having mine, enjoying every single event that this extraordinary city has to offer. You also should take the most of it, and it doesn't cost much! ;-) I hope you get a chance to see at least one of those events and feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts. 

Merry Christmas everyone! 

May Santa be kind to everybody, specially to those who support me and read my posts every time. Thank you!  

HO HO HO HO!!!  :-D

Santacon in the Big Apple!

   Here is another fun event in NYC during Christmas time. Every year, many Santa Clauses come out of their freezing home in North Pole to have some fun in the city before they get serious for Christmas. Even Santa deserves to have a great time in the Big Apple, right?
   So, on saturday, december 15th, SantaCon is going to take place in the streets of New York.  The parade with hundreds of Santa Clauses will start at Pier 84 at 10am, and from there you will just follow all the Santa Clauses to wherever, and that will be fun... guaranteed! Just make sure you are with many friends to share fun moments!

   Go get your costume and have a wonderful time!

   Check out some pictures from last year.

Enjoy it!!!   HO HO HO HO!!!

Christmas fun in NY - Part I

 Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year and it's even better when you are in the greatest city in the world. There is no better place to be on Christmas than being home with your family, but if I'm not home, the place I would chose to be would definitely be NY. Christmas is magical in NY and very inspiring!

The Rockefeller Center is the symbol of Christmas in NY and a place where everyone must go to see the beautiful Christmas Tree and the lights that surrounds the building.

   There are many things you can do on Christmas time in the Big Apple besides the events and shows that already have in the city in typical days. One Christmas event that must be on your to-do-list is the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, where the Rockettes shine at Radio City Music Hall.

    I was there this year and it was amazing!!! Some people have watched it last year, but it's different every time you go. The group consists of 36 girls who look exactly the same when on stage. It's astonishing watching how precise they are. Not to mention the songs and scenario that are terrific!!! 

It's a little blurry, but that is Santa  :-D

The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers - That was my favorite part. So precise and perfect!

New York at Christmas - A fun ride to all the tourist points of the city. 

Sleigh Ride - Rockettes wearing reindeer costume - They looked so real, just like real reindeer!

Here comes Santa Claus! - It's amazing seeing so many Santas together in this part of the show...very fun! Lots of wishes to come true!

Let Christmas Shine! They sing and dance beautifully!!!

Those famous legs..straight and high! Very fun to watch!

Tips for a good Christmas photo album:

• Go to Rockefeller Center  and take some pictures posing next to the huge and gorgeous Christmas Tree..well, the only problem is that it is so crowd that you will probably have other people in your photo.
