HAPPY CHRISTMAS DAY
We must have been good because even though we were away on holidays Santa still found us!
Spoilt! I'll let you guess which pile of goodies belong to who ;)
Christmas day was already amazing!
Lunch was booked at Caprini Dolci in Grand Central Station. We had a table overlooking the main concourse which was simply alive with everyone travelling for the holiday.
Dreaming of a white christmas? We were and we found one! Even though it didn't physically snow on us there was plenty around to make everything merry and bright.
We ventured to a few ice-skating rinks but the crowds were insanely huge and unfortunately for us prices had jumped through the roof...so it was off to Times Square to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere...
and the NBA which was being broadcast live onto the big screen.
The sunset was beautiful (my picture doesn't do it any justice) and the perfect way to end the day..
JUST KIDDING! It's only 4:30pm!
Feeling lucky we entered Nath into the Matilda lottery, because it's very popular you can only win once every 30 days, so we're depending on his luck to bring us through this time...and it did! 2 x tickets to Matilda as our last show on Broadway. Nath was jumping for joy!
With a limited amount of time until the show started we ran to Five Guys a burger place we noticed earlier in the day that was just around the corner. They boasted the best fries in America (isn't that McDonalds claim?) and with a large that felt like it was never-ever-ending, they were pretty tasty!
Nathan however was more interested in the soft drink machine that had more flavour combinations than he could handle!
Feeling satisfied with our fairly untraditional Christmas dinner we took our seats and were ready to love every minute of Matilda.
After the show we spent the rest of our Christmas in Times Square just enjoying the world around us, and trying not to get too disappointed that this would be the last time we do this for a long time.
We love and will miss you NYC, you have captured a piece of our hearts forever.
May your days be merry and bright
