Every year I make sure to visit Central Park’s Arsenal to see their fun and creative wreath interpretation exhibit. This is the 43rd annual exhibition. This festive tradition welcomes the holiday season with nearly 40 wreaths made from unique and unusual materials. This year’s eclectic interpretations of the traditional holiday decoration have been handcrafted by Parks employees, artists, designers, and individuals of all ages using an unexpected assortment of materials, such as packing peanuts, Legos, aluminum, miscellaneous scraps, found objects, and more. Sadly you only have until January 2nd to see this fun exhibit. It is free and is located on the third floor of the Arsenal on Fifth avenue and 63rd street.

For the third (or is it fourth) year in a row my friend Robyn and I got tickets for the Top of the Rock VIP experience but this time during the evening. I admit that it is always fun and seeing the city at night during a full moon was very special. Good news is that it is magical, bad news is…that it is crowded and it was freezing. By the end of this altitudinous adventure I could not feel my feet. So very cold and windy. One of our special events was closed because of the high winds so we will be returning to the Sky Lift soon. Also, Santa was awol. Perhaps he was busy shopping and wrapping presents. Who knows? Anyway…Happy Holidays!
