It is a truly mind-boggling phenomena. Seems like we just got done with a sweltering summer in New York City and time rushes forward. We're done with Fall, Thanksgiving, my birthday and suddenly Christmas is upon us. It seems to happen faster each year. It is mind-boggling. Each year everything seems to flash by more rapidly. Are the years getting shorter? Of course, each year I move a little slower.
In order to acknowledge the on-rushing arrival of Christmas, Katherine the Great and I enjoyed the Christmas Tree lighting the other night. It was cold, it felt like winter but was a heartwarming event. Great music, marching bands, Santa Claus and much more. New Yorkers love crowds and it was evident the crowd loved this event. Their expressions and body language said everything. This was not the well-known Christmas Tree lighting at Rockefeller Center which is broadcast on TV. This was a Lower Manhattan event at Seaport. It didn't matter. New York knows how to put on exciting events and New Yorkers know how to enjoy them!
