It's Christmas time, in the city

I know ... Christmas is long gone. But I still wanted to show you all just what the Rockefeller Christmas tree looks like. Sorry the pictures aren't that great. The first night we went to see the tree I forgot my camera and the second night it was raining. It was fun, It was very bright and beautiful. I must say the ice rink below makes it all mystical and Christmasy. Although it's so big that if you try and take a picture up close you just see lights, and when you take a shot of the whole thing it seems so far away.

The picture with the snowflakes is of Saks 5th Avenue. Along the front of the building they have Christmas music playing and each snowflake lights up to the beat of the song. My favorite was when they played "Carol of the Bells". Everyone on the streets has to stop and see. They also project snowflakes falling on the Rockefeller building behind the tree, like I said they do things very big hear in the city. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the Macy's windows (that was also on the night I forgot my camera) but I have to say hands down they were my favorite Christmas site in the city. They were AMAZING!! Much better then the ZCMI center windows. They had magical fairies in the fairy kingdom and even Santa's toy shop, and at each window there were several buttons that when pushed the characters inside would move and make music. So I guess when you all come out to see the Christmas Rocketts we'll have to make a stop at Macy's. We enjoyed seeing most of you at Christmas and hope you are all enjoying a Happy New Year!!
