The holidays are officially upon us. And I refuse to let them pass me by in a blur of christmas parties, cookies, slush and sweaters! This year, it's time to stop and smell the roses...I mean, poinsettias? You get the idea.
In an effort to truly enjoy how utterly charming New York City is during the Christmas season, Kevin and I hauled our little tushies up to Rockefeller Center to gape and gawk with the best of them at the famous Rockefeller Christmas Tree.
Standing 80-feet tall, the tree is a gleaming beacon of Christmas and consumerism here in the city. And the imposing Norway spruce is quite the sight. With its shimmering lights wound tightly around each and every branch from end to end, you really can't even see much actual tree--just a mass of glittering LED-bulbs twinkling away as far as the eye can see.
Embracing our inner tourists, we took approximately 3,000 handheld pics of ourselves from various awkward angles in an effort to best capture as much of the tree as possible while still getting in a good portion of our heads. Not easy! Here are a few of the goofiest that made the cut...
Wishing everyone a very happy and healthy holiday (and New Year!) and hoping you all get a chance to stop and smell the poinsettias this season.
Merry Christmas!
