Without further delay here are some pictures of my touch of Martha Stewartness this weekend. Although the snowflakes look much more sparkly in person I must admit! The Christmas sprit is in full spirit in the city. Tonight was the tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center, which was full of music performances of holiday cheer including Mariah Carey, Sheryl Crow, and Jessica Simpson to name a few. I am absolutely loving the store front decorations and my smile gets a little bigger as more lights go up on the trees on the streets.

I will definitely have to take more photos, but I think the best way to experience Christmas magic in the city is to come and visit! Which, by the way there are only 18 days and 13 hours left until Mama Duck and my sister arrive in the city! Not that I’m counting or anything ;) I cannot wait! 

Note to self: The next time I decide to have an adventure in Harlem it might be a good idea to double-check the streets before jumping on a bus. That would have saved me the 11 block brisk walk with my hood on to Target if I would have gotten off at 117th instead of 106th. Not exactly the ideal place I’d like to be walking during any time of the day. Luckily I survived though. Better yet, I had quite a little successful trip to wrap up my little Martha Stewart inspired weekend! This is what happens when all of my friends leave the city for the holiday weekend!

My roommate will be pleasantly surprised with a clean, re-organized, and holiday cheered apartment tomorrow evening! Our apartment is slowly but surely feeling more homey. The cute curtains and new pillows for the couch are nice new additions! As well as the snowflakes I hung on the window and our little baby Christmas tree! I will post photos tomorrow for you all to check out. I must say I am pretty happy with the results though! After a long day of cleaning a nice evening curled up watching Pac 10 football with little Scooter was necessary. Until tomorrow! Good night.
