Call it geeky, but I absolutely love Christmas lights- they always get me super amped on the holidays. A few of the avenues here in Brooklyn have festive lights hanging over the streets as far as the eye can see, and theres a lot of Brownstones with dainty little light displays. Prospect Park also has the entrances lit up, which I definitely plan to see. Rockefeller Center had the grand illumination tonight, so Im sure Todd and I will go up there and mingle with tourists as we peep at the window displays and gaze at the tree that isnt as magnificent as its made out to be, but is still pretty. As much as I complain about New York winter, I do think its a wonderful place to be to get into the holiday spirit.
Heres a quick picture of 5th Avenue in BK, and you can kind of see the lights all the way down the avenue. Also (accidentally) in the photo are the moon and Venus- Jupiter was a little to the right of Venus but a tree branch blocked the view. I took this photo on December 1, which just happened to be a night where Jupiter and Venus could be seen very brightly next to the moon. That wont happen again until the year 2013.
