Christmas in Dyker Heights

Enough about Christmas, I know! For some reason––maybe just because I spent the past few months all by myself in a whole new world––I'm having a very deep obsession with Christmas this year! But I promise this will be the last post about it––I think!

On Christmas Day I spent most of the morning in bed watching movies with my family, and after brunch we headed out to explore one of the neighbourhoods I always heard was the prettiest during this time of the year in New York: Dyker Heights in Brooklyn. And we weren't disappointed. Most of the houses in the neighbourhood were looking wonderful, all geared up with lots of lights and decorations. I couldn't have loved anything about it any more!

Maybe one day I'll decorate my home like one of those gorgeous houses...

Christmas at St. Patrick's

St. Patrick's Cathedral has always been one of my favourite places in New York––especially now that all the beautiful renovations are almost done. And although this wouldn't be a typical place to go see Christmas decorations, I found myself inside the Cathedral a few days ago, and discovered they have a beautiful Nativity scene inside. So I had to take pictures. I really wish I had one of those at home!

Christmas Decorations

I finally managed to start decorating my home for Christmas and couldn't be happier. My personal favourite is the fresh smell of the Christmas tree––although I adore the nativity scene my mum gave me last Christmas.

Christmas Time at the New York Palace

I love wandering around town and finding new places I love. Although I had discovered the New York Palace––and its magnificence––quite a while ago, I hadn't even thought about the possibility of such beautiful Christmas decorations filling the place with joy these days. But when I was trying to avoid the crowds last weekend, I happened to walk past it. And it was amazing! I absolutely adore the red lights that brighten up the walls, and the tree is nothing but breathtaking. The lobby is also looking gorgeous, as usual. I truly love this place!

Christmas Giants

Walking on Avenue of the Americas has become one of my favourite passtimes lately, not because it's close to home, but mostly because I can't get over the giant Christmas decorations that are illuminating the area these days. I'm particularly in love with these enormous fairy lights!
