Wall Street / NYSE Christmas Tree Lighting
Today on December 10, 3:00 pm began what yours truly can only recall as being one of the best outdoor Christmas celebrations to have been experienced in the streets of New York City in a very long time. To some it might sound like I’m laying it on a bit thick but believe you me when I tell you how much I enjoyed the experience. Just as last year the performances were all top notch. What with such names as Billy Ray Cyrus, Joshua Bell, the Manhattan Transfer, Kate Vogele, David Nail, the Monsignor Donovan Choir amongst others belting out great tunes with gorgeous voices to boot..wellllll, heck. One simply couldn’t go wrong! Updated is this newly added video. Sorry the quality isn’t as great as one would wish. In the photo below…who would’ve thought Santa’s Helpers could be so beautiful? I could sit here trying to compare them all through the wonderful memories I’ve had of this day and attempt to tell you which ones were on their game and such. But I won’t! Not for a minute. Since when i say they were all wonderful, I mean it! Hey! Not only that but a number of us got to venture into the New York Stock Exchange itself for the closing bell for which Billy Ray Cyrus and some fellow rockers took part. Afterwards we were brought outside so’s to continue the festivities. ‘and of course there was the tree lighting. Hmmmm, may I say this year’s tree was so awesome compared to previous years’ trees? hehe, I really can remember last year’s and the one before that drooping a bit. Wellll, Perky is in and Droop is out. Wait! I can recall saying the same thing about the Rockefeller Tree once. LOL. No matter, if you should find yourself in the area of Wall Street and Broad Street (where the NYSE is located) then I’d highly suggest your passing through to get a look at this year’s grand Wall Street Christmas Tree. You won’t regret it!!! Soooo, Happy Holidays to one and all. ‘and please take a look at the display of photos below…. Be well.
