Christmas in New York City

December 17, 2015 · 3 Comments

IMG_0010There really is something just so magical about New York City during Christmastime. If you’ve never had the chance, it’s a must, especially if you love this time of year. The beauty you see in movies, it’s all there, of course with thousands of people among you, but that’s what adds to its magic. I’ve been lucky to grow up right outside the city, and remember always taking the trip to see the famous Rockefeller Center Tree and the beautiful holiday window displays with my parents every year the day before Christmas Eve.

In the last few years, I’ve become busier from helping with the reigns for our two day family Christmas celebrations and holiday orders, so this traditional night with my parents, has been replaced with quick trips with J. Since I knew the last two weeks before Christmas were going to be insane, last Friday was the one day I wanted to go in to New York City, and calmly walk the streets and see it’s Chritmas magic alongside my parents and J. Plus it helped that the weather was just perfect, which I know isn’t normal, but I’m totally taking advantage of it. IMG_9908Even after 20 something years of coming into New York City for Christmas, it still doesn’t get old. It still fills me with excitement of a young little girl impatiently waiting for Santa. Except now I’m a grownup, wishing the holiday season would slow down! Seriously, perhaps because I’ve been busier this month than any other year, but I feel like Christmas has flown by, like one week already. I need more time! More time to sit by the trees, to actually enjoy this time without stretching myself between orders, planning a party this weekend, making/wrapping gifts, and prepping everything for my own family celebration.

Amongst the hustle and bustle the holidays brings, going into New York City during Christmas allows me to slow down, and embrace this beautiful season. With just a few days before Christmas Eve, I know there isn’t much relaxing for me, but I make it a big effort to listen to classic holiday music and enjoy the twinkling tree as much as I can. So in case you are feeling stressed, here are just a few beautiful shots of New York City during Christmas, and if you haven’t seen them for yourself, inspires you to take a trip next year…IMG_9911IMG_9915I loved Macy’s windows this year. My favorite is still the Polar Express theme, but this year’s Peanuts were just so fun.

The winter palace theme carried on through their amazing, and I mean AMAZINGLY, beautiful window displays. They are beyond gorgeous, with luxurious gowns, diamonds and crystals, and elegant tablescapes that filled me with so much inspiration. I literally photographed every window because they were just THAT beautiful.

I love how they make a statement in larger arrangements or more minimalist creations, but even more so, beautifully grouped together on their own in lovely vintage bud vases. Spring certainly has so many wonders & simple intricacies that bring us joy, even if for a brief season🌿

Always embracing the subtle beauty that saturates Always embracing the subtle beauty that saturates the simple things🤍

I’ve found the less I share on social media the more authenticity thrives. The ever-dream & idea filled mind grows & flourishes. It’s been comforting knowing that other creatives I’ve admired for years, both event related & not, have in part felt the same. When one creative outlet was paused, the other creative ideas that had been hibernating in the mind, quietly waiting for their time, began to shine brighter & brighter. Yes, it’s been comforting feeling that commonality in change & perspective...

But the one thing that’s never changed for me, is celebrating the beauty in the simple things. Giving a new home, a new form of life to a simple treasure. Those subtle everyday moments that are beyond inspiring...
Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, may it b Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, may it be virtually or safely together...I hope you all make the most of your spring weekend🌿
