Well it’s only July, and that means we’re halfway to Christmas. If you know me, then you probably know Christmas is my forte. I’m about as good at decorating as Buddy the elf and gift giving is one of my favorite things to do. So, I thought I would start off the Christmas season a little early by naming a few things on my New York Christmas bucket list.

I’ve never been to New York, but I’ve always imagined the Christmas magic that the Big Apple presents to its numerous civilians and tourists. Taking me to New York during Christmas time would be like telling a kid they can get everything they want in a candy store. Here are the top five sites on my New York Christmas bucket list.

1. The Rockefeller Tree

I mean if this giant Christmas tree with its dazzling lights doesn’t awe you, then you might be the Grinch.

2. Sixth Avenue Decorations

In case Christmas trees aren’t your favorite, there are a variety of different decorations to look at.

3. Ice Skating In Bryant Park

Now I can’t ice skate, but I’m willing to bust my butt just for the sake of some Christmas fun.

4. Radio City Music Hall

I’ve seen the Christmas Spectacular at the Fox, but that really can’t compare to the magical feeling in New York City.

5. The Empire State Building

Looking over the city at Christmas time makes the view that much better.
