NY Christmas 2010

I spent all day yesterday, walking up and down Manhattan. I enjoyed with my aunt a day of acting like tourist. (She lives there, and i used to live there) We went to all the famous stores, walked up and down Broadway, watched the lights come on and then made our way over to:

And this is where in a few weeks the New Year’s ball is going to drop from.

My only complaint is the fact that they were very blatantly Christian at the end, understand it’s called THE Christmas Spectacular, so we the audience should expect something, but they actually read from the Bible. nothing in the beginning of the show led you to believe there would be a Nativity scene,, although it was beautiful and amazing because they had a live camel and donkey,

it made me wonder if that was the reason so many of the seats were empty?? However, the show was fantastic and if you ever get the chance go!! have kiddies definitely go.
And that’s how I spent my day. Ever been to NYC?? if so please share your tales in the comment section
