I'm not a city girl.
At all. So when my husband suggested we go to New York for our anniversary, I was like, "If you want." Not to mention our anniversary is in December, which means snow, right?
Well, we got really lucky, and the weather in New York was unseasonably warm, even warmer than Arkansas. And while I've been to New York before, I've never been during Christmas. If you're ever going to go--I highly recommend this time of year.
I wish I could pass along the magic we felt walking down Time Square at midnight, thousands of people around us, Christmas trees and displays lighting the streets, and beautiful Christmas songs blasting through the air.
It was beautiful, and I came to appreciate how, even as different as a New Yorker is to a country girl like me, we have so much more in common. I came away feeling more connected to a culture that's so foreign it's almost like visiting a different country.

yeah, a totally different culture! I'd love to visit NYC. I think visiting in December would be quite magical... and quite cold. You've made it sound worth it! We'll see if we ever end up doing it. December is so very busy! But there are so many many places I'd like to go-- because we really haven't been very many places--- that I find my bucket list of destinations is quite lengthy. Top of the list includes Greece, China, and Alaska. oh and Guatemala. and Brazil. and Korea. and Hawaii. and Thailand. and Ireland. Sheesh, just put me on a plane!
