songbird's crazy world

  First Christmas Welcome to  Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: First Christmas (2024) Unfamiliar with this week's tune?

I had this made when we first moved in together. And the mug that tells me my place in the world. Truth.

 So … on Sunday we headed Into Manhattan. Our objective was the New York public library main building. Drew is a donor and we got invited to the annual donor reception. Ever hear the phrase “getting there is half the fun”?  It wasn’t.  We took the Long Island Railroad, and our train broke down as we were arriving in Jamaica Station. The dreaded “No passengers, this train is out of service.”  Jamaica is a hub, so we were able to catch another train fairly quickly.  Though I did feel bad for the two passengers who didn’t heed the announcement and wound up in the train yard instead of Grand Central Station. Once we arrived in the city … our first stop was Rockefeller Center. The tree, of course. Prometheus has a new layer of gold this year. St. Patrick’s The Rockefeller Center angels  There’s a small display by Hershey’s We were too early to see the Saks light show  But we did get a look at the windows  Then we headed down 5th Avenue.  I saw at ...
