Christmas in NYC

Walking down the streets in NYC recently has smelled like walking through a pine forest with all the little Christmas Tree vendors on the sidewalk every few feet. I keep forgetting to bring a camera to take a few pictures of them before they all disappear.

Last week I also went ice skating in Bryant Park, and hopefully I'll make it up there a few more times before the rink closes at the end of December. I've been madly trying to fit in lots of Christmas-in-NYC things this season; I know that I'll have other Christmases here but it's still tempting to try to get to everything right away! Here are some things that I probably won't be doing, though:

1. Radio City Christmas show - too expensive, and I'd rather wait for Kate to be a little older so she could enjoy it
2. Going to a performance of Messiah - might be semi interesting, but I don't know if I'd sit still that long
3. Skating at Rockefeller Center - the Bryant Park rink is much nicer
