Christmas In NYC!

Living near the city certainly has it perks especially during the holidays. There are so many places where we go year after year that never gets old. No matter how many people take and post the same picture on social media, the ones I take are my own and they are for me to remember and I don't mind sharing it and documenting it. I captured quite a few photos this year that may very well make it into the blog in the new year because there are so many Christmas posts I have drafted that I want to share, but today I will share what Christmas in the city looks like. And when you have kids that tag along they make it even more magical!

More NYC Scenes At Christmas!

As promised here are more scenes and holiday decor from my favorite city. I absolutely love this time of year and as much as we are tempted to live here it would be amazing especially since rent costs are constantly getting lower, but it's all up to Jon's job and I don't think they want to lose one of their best drivers in Jersey! Anyway here are a few more photos. There is still so much to see and do around the holidays, and after Christmas. I wrote this blog post last year and listed some of the fun places to go during Christmas. It truly is a magical city this time of year!

Radio City, The Rockefeller Tree, & All Things Christ-masy!

I'm telling you...New York at Christmas does not disappoint. I take way too many photos when I come here, and it has been nice coming to the city without it being so crowded. I am grateful to those who have stayed in their own state and not traveling here which makes the risk of the virus less contagious but unfortunately there will be tourists coming here which makes it unsafe for them if they don't quarantine or wear  a mask (which I've seen quite a few not wearing any already) but nonetheless we are careful when we are out and about and major social distance while taking photos. We only slide our mask down under our chin while snapping a quick pic! And here's our favorite venue Radio City. We will miss seeing the Rockettes this year but hope they will return next year to continue this tradition. 

Fifth Avenue At Christmas!

As promised here are more scenes and holiday decor from my favorite city. I absolutely love this time of year and as much as we are tempted to live here it would be amazing especially since rent costs are constantly getting lower, but it's all up to Jon's job and I don't think they want to lose one of their best drivers in Jersey! Anyway here are a few more photos. There is still so much to see and do around the holidays. I wrote this blog post last year and listed some of the fun places to go during Christmas. It truly is a magical city at Christmas!

These are scenes from fifh avenue. This year fifth avenue put up these huge toy decorations and they light up at night. Even though Noah is 11 he still found them entertaining and didn't mind getting in the pictures. After all...they are New York! 

NYC Scenes At Christmas Time!

I can't believe we are halfway through December and my writing/blogging skills have been completely lacking. The picture taking and posting it on Instagram hasn't. It has been easier for me to post on Instagram on a whim than to blog about our day. The "one line a day journal" I have also makes up for the blogging as well as writing in my regular journal which I honestly haven't written in it in a while.  I have a few more pages to fill before I start one up for 2021. I blame it on 2020. I blame it on Covid fatigue. And I feel I have every right in saying that I have 'covid fatigue' because my husband drives for UPS every day. My worries about him and his job however have somewhat diminished, but there are days when I still worry. Which is why I replace my worry with picture taking. I love taking pictures especially around the holidays. The perks about living near NYC is that I can drive in anytime and go to the best epic spots and capture a photo. It's the best and I LOVE the city around the fall and Christmas season. Since I have a ton of photos I may make a part two but this post will pretty much be all about Christmas decorations. We've been to so many epic spots that are picture worthy and I hope you enjoy looking at them on here or on my Instagram as much as I do!
