Rockefeller Center and Sax Fifth Avenue









This week we experienced Christmas in New York. We went to the Rockefeller Center to see the big Christmas tree. It was magical to see all the lights and it was a wonderful way to get us into the Christmas spirit. We also walked past the Radio City Music Hall (where the Rockets perform) and we walked up and down 5th Avenue (very high end stores). We had a chance to see the Sax Fifth Avenue music/light show and to go in and explore the famously expensive store. It was absurd how much everything cost ($995 scarf) and we both decided that we would never want to spend money in such frivolous ways- but it was interesting to see. We were able to shop at street vendors for Christmas gifts- and do some pretty good bargaining. It was very festive, cold and holiday-ish.
