Asking for a friend...
I'm a sucker for the Holiday Season and especially tree lightings.
My favorite tradition? The Seaport Tree lighting - this is where I bring incredibly decadent hot chocolate in two gigantic Swell bottles with some cups to share with everyone.
My second favorite? The Park Avenue Tree lighting - sure it's in the Upper East Side, but it's worth the trek up there for the Christmas caroling alone, not to mention the magic of all the Park Avenue Trees being lit up at once.
Here are the Tree Lightings I've found so far:
There are a lot more events around the city - it's impossible to list all of them! Consider this the short list for now.

What I am also running to do this week...
|

Did this get my attention because they got slammed for charging a $12 cover charge to enter? Yup! Is it going to stop me from going?! Nope... but I may stand at the entrance peering in to see if it's worth it before handing over my. money.

And another thing for this week...

I really don't love going to Macy's on a normal day, let alone holiday season, but I do love Pac-Man! It's on for a while so there's no rush in case you want to go in the new year instead
When: On now until January 18

I am putting a reminder in my calendar now for November 2026, to remind me to send you all a list of Advent Calendars to get. Once again, I have forgotten too late to suggest calendars!

What Instagram is targeting me with...
|
|
Anyone else getting these ads? I'm so tempted. Reminds me of the days I sat on my phone at home talking to friends after school. I want that for my Little One!
... I just won't listen in at the end of the line, like i'm pretty sure family in my household did!
