I saw a few SA guys near the Christmas tree at Rock Center, but one was sitting on the curb and the other two were just standing around looking sad. Far from the usual music and even a little dancing of earlier years.
The tree is beautiful this year, though. People seem more in the Christmas spirit than ever. Resilient! They're not going to let any old stupid virus ruin Christmas. The trees being sold on the sidewalks seem to be fuller and more gorgeous than ever too.
That’s very encouraging. A close friend and I went to NYC at Christmastime in 2009 to see all of the traditional things like the tree & skaters at 30 Rock, the Rockettes and the store windows. (Macy’s did not disappoint!) It was beautiful and vibrant, though awfully cold for us southerners. LOL
And I’m very glad to see that there are so many people thumbing their noses at Gov. Kathy’s tyrannical edicts.
