I wonder if the man wrote a letter saying "you've got to have this tree- my wife has had to be right about everything since 1931 so this can't be the exception." LOL :-) Seriously though what a wonderful act of faith for so many years. <BR/><BR/>I remember FAO Schwartz feeling like Christmas even though it was only October when I was last in NY. I couldn't stop smiling in there.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing Pat. Our nearest rink is up in Blackpool where we went last weekend.

I am a transplanted New Yorker living in North Carolina now. I grew up in Queens, then in Rockville Centre, then went to college in Albany where I lived for many years before moving to NC. <BR/><BR/>Ijust love NYC at Christmas! I have such wonderful memories of the tree in Rockefeller Center, ice skating and going to Radio City with my grandma to see the Rockettes in the Christmas show. Afterwards we would eat at the Automat at Horn and Hardarts, which I just loved as a child. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for all the wonderful memories!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05757301438009300674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-17643419938757932812008-12-11T09:25:00.000-05:002008-12-11T09:25:00.000-05:00New York is beautiful in her Christmas glow and gl...New York is beautiful in her Christmas glow and glory!

All the photos are glorious! I love this post!!<BR/><BR/>We were so very fortunate to see the Rockettes, twice, when they were performing at the Grand Palace, in Branson Missouri. The last time we saw them was the last Christmas they were there. Sadly, that theatre is closed. <BR/><BR/>We absolutely loved the show and will never forget it.<BR/><BR/>I guess you already know, the Rockettes originated in St Louis. I think there will be a performance at the fabulous Fox, this year. I saw something about it the other day.
