Let it snow

Why is it that all I am hearing about in the UK is how much it is snowing, and yet here in NYC, a place that automatically brings to mind thoughts of a white Christmas, there is nary a flake to be seen?

I dont wish to complain, but this could cause me to ask for my money back.

However, all the trees and lights are up all over town and they are sort of making up for it as they are so pretty.
The one outside our front door (which actually belongs to the stock exchange, but I like to pretend is mine all mine) is HUGE.
Really, huge. And so lovely. Walking under it and looking up at all the lights is amazing, and it smells so strongly that its like being in an Alpine forest.
Sort of.

We have our tree up now too, and it is very beautiful and piney smelling and all, but its just a bit...small.

It didnt look that small when we got it (on a street corner, so authentic!) but in our flat, with its ridiculous 12ft ceilings, it is a bit lost.

But still, festive and beautiful.
