Christmas in the City: The Angel Tree.

Jill, Suzi & I went to see the Angel Tree at the Met on Wednesday. Will summed it up when we walked in & he said, Wow! Unfortunately, there was an evil museum guard who doing his very best to  strictly enforcing the no photography rule that they have for some (stupid) reason. Yeah, he didn't really scare me & I went ahead & took a few dozen photos. Most of them were literally shot blind from the hip (my camera is not discreet, nor is the shutter - I improvised), so here I am yet again apologizing for poor photos of what was a very pretty tree. And the pedestal that it was sitting on? Almost the most amazing part. Huge! Heavy (looking)! It was really beautiful, as were all of the details of the manger scene & the angels that covered the tree.

The last tree on our list is Rockefeller Center. I've already seen it several times, but Mike hasn't yet this year. Despite his resistance (the crowds are in fact a total nightmare), it's just something we've got to do. Early next week, I think. I'm trying to spread the festivities out.

Winter is here in full force, by the way. It's frigid. 16° on my way to seminary this morning & Mike told me that the news said feels like 4°. I get extra blessings for venturing out in that kind of cold (on foot) at 6am, right? RIGHT??

(Speaking of which. Anyone have any favorite cold / windy / dry weather products for hair, skin & lips? I fear I might crack & crumble away to dust at any moment.)
