Christmas in New York is here already

The Christmas season is almost here in New York. I've been noticing this week that the trees around town are suddenly appearing (more and more) to be set with the white, twinkling fairy lights, the ice rinks are up and running...Rockefeller Center, Central Park and now Bryant Park as well. More and more Christmas displays are popping up in store windows and the big thing: The Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes, Santa Claus and The Living Nativity, is back onstage for another year! Ho, Ho and HO.

It may be only Nov. 9, but in New York it's already Christmas in Manhattan.

We're gearing up for another Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and that brings me back to the four times I participated in the parade:
1. On the Diana Ross float
2. On the Cinderella float (I was the coachman)
3. On the New York Daily News float.
4. And my final year, as the toy soldier saluting on The Santa Claus float at the end of the parade.

Good memories!
