Merry Christmas In New York City 2025


All around Manhattan the Christmas trees are up, and the brownstones are decorated. Below is a festive one on the Upper East Side.


In my kitchen, the cookies are baked. This year, I made Springerle, Czechoslovakian cookies, Scottish Shortbread and Gingerbread cookies. We are ready to have Christmas teas with visitors!





Many of my friends are off to midnight Mass, but my senior Mother and I will watch the 1st American Pope say Mass on tv. Over the years, mom and I have spent Christmases both together and apart.

Talked to 4 friends today over the phone, and I had a lovely chat with each one.

I hear many poor people, including a friend, are suffering with the flu. Mom and I were vaccinated against it in October. Thank heaven for vaccines!

We wish everyone near and far a MerrChristmas!🐑🐪
