Everyone has that crisp Christmas memory as a kid. For many, that core memory is sitting in the back of your parents’ car looking at Christmas lights. The lights shined so bright and so warm against the dark winter sky. As an adult, the closest Christmas experience I can relate to that childhood memory is walking around NYC, all bundled up, under the Christmas lights. It’s just magical. New York City along 5th Avenue and the Rockefeller Christmas Tree takes you back to being a kid looking at all of the houses decorated for Christmas.

Day or night, the Rockefeller Christmas Tree shines bright. However, it’s always so busy. The key to visiting this iconic New York City icon is going early and avoiding the crowds. For today’s proposal, Nick chose proposing first thing in the morning before brunch.
