MyNY: Two Months of Holiday Joy

One of my favorite things about New York is the really, really long holiday season. I know holiday decorations go up early all around the country, but it feels like so much more here. Stores decorate with lights and greenery, Coke cans go holiday, Starbucks cups turn red and Dunkin Donut cups have snowmen on them, ice skating begins, the big tree at Rockefeller goes up (even though it isn't revealed until the first week of December). Meghan and I were walking around Columbus Circle on Friday and the place has already gone coo-coo for Christmas time. The trees were lit, huge tree decorations hung from the ceiling inside of the Shops at Columbus Circle, and there was actual holiday music playing outside. Someone walking by exclaimed that Halloween was barely over, but in reality, Thanksgiving is a little more than one week away. Ah, the holidays. Loves it.
