There’s nothing better than the winter holidays and festivities. My favorite part are the decorations and lights that are put up everywhere.
Oh and the holiday markets are the best! You can get great gifts there. My go-to ones are the one in Union Square and the one on 59th street. They’re like mazes but no worries you won’t get lost.
Yesterday we went to Bergdorf Goodman to see the holiday window displays; it’s an absolute must to see if you’re visiting NYC in the winter.
This year, Bergdorf Goodman’s theme is sweets. The windows were filled with cotton candy, pastries, and futuristics ice cream machines. My favorite window was the pâtisserie vitrine. There were macarons and cakes. I love when they take ideas from real life and mix them with fashion.
Christmas was great this year. Not only did we celebrate the holiday but we also celebrated my sister’s birthday. The double celebration was all my niece’s idea; she wanted to do something special for my sister. And she did do something special. She did a wonderful job in picking out the decorations and setting them up. And of course my sister outdid herself with all of the yummy food.
So Christmas is approaching us rather quickly this year and I’m here at home with a stomach virus. Gosh! My lack of posting has created a disappointment within myself. So just to brighten up my mood and look forward to what’s coming this month, I created this short holiday wish list. Enjoy!
Thanksgiving this year was a success! We went to my sister’s house to celebrate family and to give thanks. The food was made completely by my sister so kudos to her! Even though it’s not shown here, I promise it was a delicious feast. We brought some sparkling apple cider, coconut pie, and beer. We also bought this great drink called Ciderboys. It’s apple cider with 5% alcohol; very tasty but very light.
Over the weekend I met up with my college friend Jessica (you can find her at
