NYC Christmas...

I am SO excited about Christmas Day, present giving and spending time with the people I love.

But I must confess, in the dreadful heat we have been experiencing here in Brisbane this week, it has got me imagining what it must be like to be cold at Christmas. Imagine being so cold on Christmas Day that your teeth chattered and you had to wear layers of clothing to keep warm? Imagine having a Christmas where you didn't have to cover food in fear of the flies getting to it or dread turning on the oven in fear of making your little house hotter than it already was! No, I wouldn't have it any other way but humour me with my little dream nonetheless.

One of my family's dreams is to one day all celebrate Christmas in New York City. We have it all planned out - in our imaginations of course. We would watch people ice skate at the Rockefeller Centre, shop at Bloomingdale's and maybe window shop at Saks. We would check out the Christmas window display at Macy's and so much more. Maybe we would be there early enough to attend the Christmas parade? I am not sure where we would have Christmas dinner. Any suggestions? Either way in my imagination it would be somewhere very beautiful, with an open fire.

We would walk in Central Park Christmas Eve ....



Admire the Rockefeller Centre Christmas Tree ...



Off the topic, but isn't this print of the Rockefeller Centre gorgeous?



For Christmas Dinner I could wear something like this?



Or maybe this little skirt? Of course in my imagination I have ridiculously skinny legs and a fabulous collection of high heel shoes...but of course!

But if I was going to go completely overboard and because this is my little dream I am allowed, I would probably wear something just like this .... SJP style ....

Yes, a girl can imagine. In the meantime, I am so excited about being hot and sweaty Christmas Day : ) - thank goodness the oldies have aircon! I will wear a sundress, eat cold meats, seafood and salad, drink chilled wine, play trivia games and spend time with the people I love. I will also have a huge piece of Christmas pudding and watch my little boy open his Christmas presents  - it doesn't get much better than that:)

What are your plans for Christmas Day beautiful friends?
