The lyrics of “Silver Bells” take me back to my first ever trip to Manhattan when I was a sophomore in college. My mother planned the trip as a special treat and we arrived on the day after Christmas. The minute I stepped foot into the city I knew it was where I wanted to live “when I grew up”.
New York is a wonderful city any time of the year, but at the holidays it is truly magical…Click below to play the song and then scroll through the photos for a little “Christmas Time in the City”.

Sandy… what a great post to wake up to. My sister got married 23 years ago on Dec. 29th in NYC! Christmas is the most beautiful time. Two months after the wedding I got engaged at the Rainbow Room! Great memories. Beautiful post. Congrats on winning the giveaway on the Pink Pagoda!!

We were watching Home alone 2 the other night and the kids begged for us to have at least 1 christmas in NY. This pictures have me even more convinced we should do that someday!

Beautiful, Sandy! It's been years since I've experienced Christmastime in New York City. Isn't it gorgeous? I have two girlfriends heading there this weekend with their families, so I'll be living vicariously through them and your lovely photos! XO

I want to go NYC now!!! I missed all the Christmas decorations….I just love the spirit of walking along the streets this time of year! Such fun photos!
French Girl in Seattle says
Oh my goodness. I already love New York, but after seeing these incredible photos, I know I have to book another trip there soon! My last visit was last year in November, crisp but sunny weather, but no snow. It was delightful, especially Central Park. Thank you for sharing these with us, Sandy. Dean Martin's voice was the perfect background for this post. A bientôt. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

I LOVE NYC at Christmas! What beautiful pictures Sandy, and wish I could go there this year. It is so magical. Can't believe the Christmas show at Radio City had live animals on stage for the nativity, soooo cool. Thanks for your comment, and I knew we had so much in common! Hears to keeping the stress down.xoxo Nancy

Your selection of images have convinced me that New York has to be seen at this time of year as it's truly magical. The last two photos are my favourites and the santas on the crossing certainly made me smile.
