MARIAH CAREY HAS FINALLY DEFROST, YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS! With Thanksgiving being over, and the time getting cold, many people are familiar with Christmas being around the corner. Making a huge transition in your space can easily start with putting up your Christmas tree, hanging fireplace stockings, preparing menorah candles, and setting up for Kwanzas! These are all ways to get your holiday started and I want to provide you with more to make the most out of your month.
NYC has a lot to provide with its amazing attractions and many food options. You can easily spend your holidays visiting an ice skating ring. Many of these can be spotted but my top choices for you would be vising the ring under the Brooklyn Bridge for amazing views, going to Bryant Park Winter Village, Central Park Wollman Ice Rink, Williamsburg Vale Ring, and Rockefeller Center The Rink. Ice skating may not be for you, but think of all of the laughter and the memories you can make regarding your skills.
However, not everyone is comfortable with being outside that long so indoor places may be an option. This can include going to a mall. Hudson Yard is one of my top favorite places to visit especially during this season with the millions of lights hung all around the mall. It can also be a great spot to take pictures with friends and family. Speaking of pictures, there are great deals at malls where you can meet Santa! You can also check out animal cafes (Cats/Dogs), go snow tubbing and so much more!
We all know there’s no better way to start the holidays than by blasting any Christmas music of your choice. Here’s a list of 13 songs to get your day going…
- Last Christmas- Wham!
- The Chanukah Song- Adam Sandler
