10 Magical Things To Do This Christmas In NYC

Instagram

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year with all of its magic from Santa and his remainders. If you are looking for some Christmas related things to do this Christmas season while being in or close to New York City you should continue to read this article. At times these places may get crowded, but it is so worth it to go and experience these winter wonders.

1. Bryant Park

I recently went to Bryant Park for the first time to check out these adorable little shops. I had the best time shopping with my mom and aunt around the park. Each little store has their own unique stuff to sell. If you are still trying to find that perfect Christmas gift it might be here. I know I found one of mine here.

2. Ice Skating in Bryant Park

I recently went ice skating and let me just say how much fun it was! Go with a group of friends, with your family, or a significant other and I swear you are bound for tons of fun. Outdoor ice skating is so much more fun too. With the view of the Christmas tree, all the people, the little shops, and the lights, it really sets the scene of the perfect Christmas movie.

3. Take Photos at The Rockefeller Christmas Tree

It is the big NYC Christmas tree! You must go see the tree at least once and you must take photos in front of it because did you even go and see the tree if you didn't take a selfie in front of it?!

4. Rockefeller During Christmas

Explore Rockefeller during Christmas. It is beautiful this time of the year. If you want to get a really breath taking view go up to the top of the Rock, I beat it will be worth it!

5. Union Square Christmas Market

I have not been to the Union Square Christmas Market yet, but it is 100% on my bucket list this holiday season. I plan on taking a trip into the city to visit some friends and shop around this fun looking Christmas market.

6. Hot Chocolate Dates (Spiked or not)

Go on hot chocolate dates whether you spike your hot chocolate or not you are bound to have a great time and warm up a bit. Those city winds in the winter are out to get you!

7. See The Nutcracker On Broadway

Broadway plays are always a fun and amazing time, but what better time to go see the Nutcracker a classic Broadway play than during Christmas?

8. Go Shopping at Macy's

Still need to shop for those Christmas gifts? Well why not do it in the biggest Macy's in the world! I'm sure you will find everything and more for those gifts. While you are there you can also check out the main entrance with the tree and all the famous Christmas windows that Macy's sets up.

9. Go For a Horse and Buggy Ride

I have never been on a horse and buggy ride in the city; however, this is something I have always wanted to do during the winter. Look at it, it just looks so magical. Why not rest your feet a bit and enjoy the magical winter wonderland around you.

10. Rooftop Igloo Bar

Looking to go to a fun and cool rooftop bar and still stay warm? Then you must go to the rooftop Igloo bar in NYC. I have not been yet, but you can believe it that you might see me there sometime soon!

P.S. Have a great holiday season!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.
