Since it is Christmas Eve, I thought it would be fun to share some of the Christmasy things we’ve done over the past week, to make up for lost times.
On Wednesday, we headed to the city to see the Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Center.
Rockefeller Center kind of hold a special place in Tommy and my hearts because over two years ago, Tommy asked me to be his girlfriend on the Top of the Rock, overlooking the big tree being put up.
We’ve visited the tree every year since, and every year we get out of the subway and I lead us in the wrong direction. It’s kind of a tradition now, a tradition that proves I lack a sense of direction.
I love all the decorations that get put up all over the city. These huge red ornaments are one of my favs and we check them out each year too.
Last year, we went on a search for the best Christmas lights display in NYC and found a really cool looking house in Whitestone. This year, we went to check out the Dyker Heights Christmas Lights, and they blew last year’s display out.of.the.water!
There were blocks of houses decked out to the nines, with every house having something completely different from all the others.
There were also people dressed up as different characters. Alex loved the reindeer!
We had an absolute blast.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Thanks! 🙂 The houses were amazing, but a lot of them were decorated by professional decorators, which kind of takes away from it from me. They were gorgeous either way though!

Quite simply if you compose happy with the intent of
helping other folks, making sales is going to be much easier that you can do.
In relation to its sales, a network marketing business is no
different than Walmart. If you will find that you really being
a company’s products, then examine their compensation plan.

Ahead of you is both an exilerating and challenging time since the skills needed to be a
handyman usually are not necessarily a similar skills that are
forced to run and market a small business. BUY When You
Can Verify the Expertise of the Trainer. Most individuals have no idea what must be done
to run a business but the business is offered to everyone.
