They just lit the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center, so I thought that would be tonight’s destination. And just so you know, this year’s Ho, Ho, Ho is translated into this.
It's only twenty blocks away, but it's kind of cold out tonight, so I thought I'd take the subway. Here we are at the ass end of Penn Station.
Ho, Ho, Ho!
Six minutes till the next train. No worries though...
Time flies when you're on this magical thing I like to call the "internet." All aboard!
And here we are in midtown. Ah, festive piles of garbage, a Christmas miracle in midtown!
Radio City Music Hall is all decked out in Christmas glory.
We're getting close, it's crowded, but people are moving at a decent place and it's not a clusterfuck crowd.
And here we are. Here's someone taking a picture of the tree.
And here's the tree. That's one big tree, huh?
But once you take a picture of it, you realize, there's not much else to do here.
Extreme close up!
I noticed people posing for pictures, so I thought I'd take pictures of them. I think she has to go to the bathroom.
I started off taking a photo of her, because I thought she was cute and then noticed this guy off to the right.
The back of his shirt said, "Bah, Hum Bug..."
And the front made the whole trip worthwhile! His name is Anthony, but I like to call him, "Father Christmas." What a festive fellow! Goodnight everybody and see you tomorrow after dark.

The time is now, the place is here,
And the whole wide world is filled with cheer.
