Holiday Traditions in Travel..Rockefeller Center New York City Tree Lighting

It's that time of year once again. Well officially in about a week from now the Holiday Season will be upon us. For many, it already has started, and usually is heralded in literally the day after Halloween. One notices this as some radio stations dedicate their broadcasting 24 hours a day up and to Christmas Day with all Christmas Music.

With all that of note, the Holiday season is full of tradition. Either on a per family scale or to a larger degree with things like the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the lighting of the Christmas Tree at the White House and one of Travel Ape's favorites the lighting of the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center New York City. Several years ago when Travel Ape was just a small simian, his uncle took him up to New York City and he attended an official Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting. A day he's never forgotten and if time, his schedule and location permit he tries to make his way to the actual event. 

 The Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center is located in the area between 47th and 50th Streets and 5th and 7th Avenues. The text link provided in this paragraph offers directions, schedule and more information about this years tree lighting ceremony and event. 

Over the next month during this holiday season Travel Ape will be posting more info about other holiday happenings and traditions across the United States. If there are any that you want to specifically comment about or post, we welcome them here.

From Travel Ape and the rest of us here, we wish you Peace in this up and coming Holiday Season.
