Christmas Celebration In My City

Many Christmas Trees are seen around the Yule season in my city; they all are very tall and beautiful, but the Rockefeller Plaza's Norway spruce is the most gigantic and spectacular with its multicolored, gleaming bulbs. Come to the city, where kids turn into angels: they seem real cherubs being sent by Heaven itself, and these angelic messengers love to play their carols to announce Jesus joyful birth; come closer, look up and hear those voices greatly rejoicing in this bright corner of the earth! Sit down in front of it and dream of the gifts stacked underneath your pretty Christmas tree, but the most precious is this one, only decorated with lights; and its green color and sheer simplicity, can begin making a glorious memory! And which carol will you sing for the crowds? Christmastime is a wonderful experience on New York City's streets: stores, pubs, restaurants and shops dress up with dazzling decorations, every street has a Santa ringing a bell and spreading good cheers; where else can you find kind folks wishing strangers a Merry Christmas? On Christmas Eve, Saint Patrick's Cathedral echoes with hymns... and Child Jesus smiles at children as they caress His soft face. Copyright 2009 by Andrew Crisci
