the 1st date of Christmas

Kyle & I can't wait to go back home for Christmas. However, I realized that I want to truly enjoy all the magic of Christmas here in the city too and not just count down until we go. So, we have 12 days until we leave & wa-la. The 12 dates of Christmas. NYC style. Here we come!

On our 1st date of Christmas,
we had a candlelight dinner while cheery Christmas tunes seranaded us in the background. Then we bundled up and enjoyed the festive lights and Christmas displays and of course, the Rockefeller Christmas Tree!

love the giant string of Christmas lights!

and the elegance of the giant ornaments in the fountain...

and we ended at the ever- famous tree and then sipped creamy hot cocoa to end our lovely night.
