It's Christmastime in the city!
I've spent some time out of the city over the past month -- for a work trip and the Thanksgiving holiday -- affecting my ability to write about my new city!
I returned on November 30th from a week home in Pennsylvania to the city glowing in all of its holiday glory.
Christmastime has always been a special season for me; a glimmer of hope in the cold months that have always been difficult for me.
Strolling down Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg around 11:30 PM on that last Sunday of November, I passed a holiday moment -- a couple purchasing a great big Christmas Tree.
I kept walking, then I doubled back...and snapped this photo...
Holiday lights have sprung up all over the city -- the glow feels warm even on the coldest nights.
Tonight, I'll bring a piece of my hometown -- the below music video of "O Holy Night" by my dear friends The Revere -- to my new city. As I stroll around Manhattan taking in the Christmas lights and joy, I'll play this beautiful, powerful and moving rendition on my headphones.
Thanks guys for giving me a piece of home to carry me through the next three weeks until I'm home for the holidays and your acoustic show at Villa Capri in Doylestown on Friday, December 19th!
