My Favorite Things about Christmas time in New York City
- Overnight Christmas trees merchants setting up over stretches of sidewalk and creating small instant pine forests in the middle of blocks of high rise buildings.
- Handmade sugar cookies shaped like Santa, Snowmen and snowflakes adorned with sprinkles and royal icing filling the windows of local bakeries and specialty stores.
- Apartment building lobbies being decorated with Christmas trees, twinkle lights and wreaths.
- Taking long walks up and down Madison Avenue and playing eye spy the Christmas presents, reindeer, and Nutcrackers in the designer shop windows.
- Ice rinks popping up where fountains and swimming pools kept us refreshed all summertime.
- Spotting ladies lunching on Park Avenue with small dogs dressed in Burberry coats, miniature red wool capes and bells on their collars.
- Kids and parents beginning to scope out the good sledding hills in Central Park in anticipation of the first real snow accumulation.
That’s IT Mommy Friend, Jill

This post makes me want to visit NYC during the Christmas season. I’ve only been there on blustery, rainy days and no one on the street seems happy 🙁
