Getting in the Holiday Spirit

Though both Wife and I had to spend most of the day at our respective offices, we spent the evening taking in some of the best Christmas scenes the City has to offer.

We started out going to see the famous tree at Rockefeller Center. Here's my summary of that experience: ridiculously, freakishly, insanely crowded. That's all I have to say about that.

We moved over to another crowded area to see displays at Saks Fifth Avenue, which was probably the most impressive portion of the evening. Last week, we spent plenty of time enjoying the Macy's holiday experience. Frankly, Saks probably beats them.

Last year, Wife desperately wanted to see the laser-light show at Grand Central Station. Unfortunately we didn't make it last year, so we decided to stay her permanently just so we could experience the light show. Wow...that was overrated.

Finally, we perused over to Bryant Park to see the tree, watch ice skaters, and browse all the little holiday shops. This evening, we started getting our first snow flakes. All we need is a white Christmas to make the scene complete. Without a doubt, nobody does holiday spirit like New York City.
