I used to go to the show at Radio City Music Hall as a kid and I was able to go this year. My favorite part is the Living Nativity Scene and just soaking in the atmosphere of Radio City Music Hall. Nothing like Christmas season in New York City.

I saw Deep Purple there in 2007.

My brother was in a college marching band, and we went to his Christmas concert. The dancers did a kick-line routine to what can only be described as a stripper-version “O Holy Night” — and a million-miles of leg were showing. It would’ve been a great routine to “Santa Baby” or something ... but O Holy Night was not appropriate.

The band director was apparently horrified. The dance-instructor had made the (not particularly well thought-out) song selection on her own. My brother said the director apologized to the students, and said they got quite a few complaints about that particular song-choice.

We still laugh about it to this day.

that's what I love about this country... some like the city, some like the country, some like crowds and some like family get togethers...

It's all good FReepers. Merry Christmas.....

I prefer Texas hill country with the family .

Once, a few years back, my girlfriend and I decided to get away from our families, all the pressure of Christmas and New Years, and spend ten days in Manhattan instead. The city was beautiful. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a very impressive Christmas Tree and display, the store windows were fascinating, Wollman Ice rink in Central Park and the little rink at the Rockefeller Center near Radio City were treats. The whole atmosphere of Manhattan in the busy days leading up to the big day was the ecstasy of expectancy. We went to the Brooklyn Bridge the night before and shared a bottle of champagne on the walkway mid-span over the East River. But taking the subway back to mid-town Christmas eve near midnight was a little creepy: no one was out on the streets except the Chinese and Indians, the Buddists and the Hindus. The night before Christmas, it really didn't feel like Christmas at all.
