It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

In our first NYC Christmas we had doubts on how festive we would be considering we have a small NYC apartment and no car to pick up a tree from Home depot.

Good thing for us, Christmas lots spouted up all over the city, and more importantly one on the edge our block in front of the corner store.


It was probably the easiest tree pick up I'll ever have.  We just picked it up and carried it to our place.
No, Chester did not relieve himself on any of the trees in the picture.


NYC is always known as one of the most festive places to visit during the holidays, and it was very apparent that they don't mess around with decorations.



One of the things we looked forward to was the Book of Mormon.  We booked tickets in May for the first night we could get, Christmas eve.

It was a great show.  As one of the most hyped musical ever, it probably didn't hit those lofty standards but it was very entertaining.



The most iconic parts of Christmas in NYC is the tree at Rockefeller center.
It is HUGE!


We didn't get a chance to ice skate, but we really didn't feel like spending 2 hours in line and paying $40 to ice skate for 20 minutes.


We did get a great photo taken in front!



Christmas dinner was very different then the past as it was just the 3 of us (Chester).

We started with a great assortment of cheese.


We then finished with lobster tails and other seafood.


We also got to go out to the suburbs to check out NYC's version of candy cane lane.  It was intense and over in Brooklyn.  We rented a zip car, and headed out there for the night.
