There are so many positives about the holidays; spending time with family, enjoying the beautiful lights, winter weather activities, and so much more. I never thought I would be one to travel to New York City to see the famous Rockefeller Christmas tree or the Radio City Rockettes, but it happened. The crowds were brutal, the lines were awful, and every inch of the city was packed— but I wouldn't trade this experience for anything.

There's something special about seeing that famous tree in person; the way you just feel connected to everyone there, all because of the spirit of Christmas and the new year. That night I unexpectedly became a photographer for so many people wanting pictures with their loved ones. I may be guilty of asking people to take pictures as well. There's just something special about seeing the 36 Rockettes on stage dancing to some of the most well-known Christmas carols. Bringing all of our Christmas spirit to life in such an amazing experience. The Christmas Spectacular is a true classic that embodies the spirit of such a magical time of the year.

If you have never been to New York City at Christmas time, please add it to your bucket list. An experience like this is something everyone should do at least once. It is such an amazing way to celebrate the holidays and make new memories. Next on my list of holiday destinations is Disney World. . .
