It’s the Peanuts kids in Macy’s NYC windows, charming everyone who stopped by to enjoy the season with them.
If you’ve always worked in December, as we have, and wished for a respite from your end-of-year demands, consider this: Someday you may be retired with a chance to enjoy holiday travel. And that would be us. After almost 50 years of never taking a vacation during one of the most hectic months of the year, we dropped everything to take a spur-of-the-moment mini-trip to a city that oozes holiday spirit like no other: New York City!
One of the most elegant trees in NYC — at the Public Library!
So, for the next few days, we’re adding a few pics to our blog. And we’re trying something new. Not much copy. Short and sweet. Pics taken on the fly with a handy iPhone. Here’s hoping you’ll enjoy seeing The Big Apple through our eyes under the heading Travel Series: Christmas Holiday NYC.
Gingerbread trees dripping with jewels — the windows at Lord & Taylor, NYC.
Please feel free to chime in. If you’ve been to NYC or find something that reminds you of what you’ve seen, we’d love to hear from you.
Here’s to the holidays,
Bert and Rusha

Thanks, Melissa! I think I’ve got one more to come — just can’t think of a title! Appreciate the visit and title!

I’ve been to NYC 14 times, not once during the holidays. I definitely want to do that. I’m enjoying your pics.

We’ve been to NYC before in December, but it has been a while. So, I really enjoyed your photos. 🙂
Oh, the Places We See
Thanks, Judy. The store windows always draw me in. But there’s a lot more to do and see in NYC, and we tried to do it all! (Ha!)

Without question, NYC is one of the very best places to visit during the Christmas season.
Oh, the Places We See
We totally agree. In fact, I would go again next year. Thanks for taking a look. We’ve got more coming up!

These are gorgeous! Wow, so glad you’re able to get those breaks now. :))
Oh, the Places We See
Me, too, Laura! But, of course, I’m behind in shopping, wrapping, and addressing Christmas cards. Sigh.

Lol aren’t we all? :))
