Merry Christmas

Christmas greetings to everyone. We hope your Christmas is enjoyable as you celebrate the festive season with family and friends.
With Christmas nearly over and the New Year pending, it is exciting to realise that during the next school holidays we will be in New York and Los Angeles!
The New Yorkers really know how to celebrate during the festive season with the traditional Thanksgiving/Christmas Macy's Street Parade in late November and the elaborate seasonal decorations and lights around Manhattan.

The Rockefeller Centre Christmas Tree is a world-wide symbol of the holidays in New York City. Its lights were turned on in early December with tens of thousands of people crowding the footpaths and millions watching it on television around the world. It will remain lit until January 7, 2016.

Macy's 89th Annual Thanksgiving Christmas Parade was held on November 26 2015. It is considered to be America's most beloved and biggest parade with over 10.000 people participating in the event. The parade is watched by more than 3.5 million people on the streets of New York City and over 50 million people nationwide via live streaming.
The Macy's Thanksgiving Christmas parade has been a New York tradition since 1924. It combines performers, marching bands, parade floats and giant balloons. The parade runs from the 'west side' along Central Park, heads south to skirt around Times Square on its way to Midtown Manhattan. Santa Claus closes the parade to kick off the official beginning of the Christmas holiday season.
