New York City at Christmas Time Part II

Here are a few more pictures from New York City's Fifth Avenue Christmas lights. It is a family tradition to go take the Fifth Avenue stroll once around Christmas time to take it all in. This year we did it quite late in the season and the crowds were crazy. It was also 67 degrees and drizzling.. All I could think about was the line from the Finnish Christmas song "No onkos tullut kesa nyt talven keskelle…". 

Tommy Hilfiger

Hollister

Ferragamo

Cartier's famous bow and panther - there every year that I can remember




Saks department store has the light show reflected on its building to the tune of the music from the Nutcracker. The show plays every few minutes and there is a wall of people watching. Not a good place if you can't handle crowds. 




Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree

Rockefeller Center angels and snowflakes. So pretty year after year. 



Saks was a winter wonderland inside. And thankfully not as crowded as outside. Although, the 8th floor shoe department was pretty run over… no pictures from there though. These are from the ground floor.
