From the Radio Center Rockettes to city lights, the festivities in this city are ongoing and endless, it seems. Although so very far away from our family and dear friends, our hearts are full of joy as we celebrate the noble birth of our dear Savior who condescended to come to earth to be born in a lowly manger and then to pay the ultimate price for each and every individual. May we never forget His sacrifice and serve Him with all our heart, might and strength.

| Walking from the subway, here is a typical office building decor! |

| Radio City Music Hall, home of the Rockets |
 |
| Love this outdoor display of monumental Christmas bulbs resting in a water pond. |
 |
| The city is array with endless bakeries and pastries! |
 |
| We attended a full production by the NY Philharmonic Orchestra (right across the street) of Handel's Messiah, It was utterly magnificent; the soloists were magnificent as well as the chorus. What a thrill to stand and sing the Hallelujah chorus with fellow Christians and believers in the New York area. This was the best Christmas present EVER! |
 |
| The sweetest Christmas surprise ever was opening a large envelope with individual Christmas messages written to us on the paper stockings. Thank you, Trista, for organizing this thoughtful gift and for all our precious family. |

| Here you see our small credenza as you enter our apartment with a outdated photo of our family, silver plate (gift) of the Manhattan Temple, Christmas card from the First Presidency of the Salt Lake Temple, our poinsettia plant (substitute Christmas tree) and a cut-out of NYC ornament...all symbols of our hearts, love and devotion to all. |
