Wow have the holidays snuck up on us or what? I can’t believe that today is Christmas Eve! My mom and grandparents have arrived here safely and so far we’re having a really nice time together. Yesterday we went to my grandparents’ first Broadway show (Nice Work if You Can Get it), walked around Times Square, and saw the tree at Rockefeller Center.
Today we’ll probably do a double-decker bus tour (they can’t decide on which one yet, because they want to see everything, too cute!). Tomorrow of course we’ll be opening gifts and having Christmas dinner. They’re only here until the morning of the 27th, so I’m trying to give them them as much of a New York experience as time will allow.
Ok, so back to the Round-up. Here are some of the posts I’ve been reading this week:

Thank you for the mention KK! Looks like you are having a grand time with your family. The bus tour sounds awesome, as they can stay warm and won’t have to walk too much. I enjoyed the big department stores’ Christmas decorations (and FAO Schwartz!) when I visited NY, but it may be too full of people this week to be enjoyed. Have a wonderful Christmas!

Yes, yes, we had so much fun. I asked my grandfather his favorite part of the trip. It was a close tie between the zoo (central park) and the “play” (broadway show)-close enough
