sweet memories...

Every year, mami would plan our 'skip school & go to Radio City Music Hall to enjoy the Christmas show and watch the tree lighting @ Rockefeller Center' day. We ALL looked forward to this day. This is the day where the Mora women, all five of us, would bond and enjoy the festivities of our magnificent city.

This is the time of year where I truly miss home! This is the time of year where sweet memories of celebrating Christmas time in the city are lovingly and nostalgically remembered. This is the time of year where the clanking sound of Santa’s bell and the heartwarming scent of chestnuts roasting on the sidewalks of NY bring back the memories of my childhood.

This day was a day of wonder and awe for me as a little chica. Mami would gather us around the big Christmas angels and take our pictures, she would fuss at us because we wouldn‘t stand still---it was too cold for us to pose---but that woman still wanted her pictures!!! I remember watching the skaters and crossing the street to watch the window display at Saks Fifth Avenue…

Oooooh sweet memories…

The lighting of that tree is the ultimate sign of the holiday season; the tree stands tall and it lights up the night sky in the city I call home.

Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas
Feliz Navidad
Season’s Greetings

Besos mi gente…
