NMMR: New York
It seems like there's quite a few travelers on this board so I thought I'd ask this here if you don't mind. Has anyone been to NYC during the Christmas season? I've been there twice but H has never been. Is it worth going to see the lights and decorations if I've been there already? H is indifferent so I thought I'd ask for opinions here. Thanks!!

Re: NMMR: New York
I've never been able to get anywhere near Rockefeller Center ice skating at Christmas time, however, and I hate crowds too much to try. If you do go, I'd get tickets for either the Rockettes or the Christmas Carol musical.
I personally love NYC in December!! Especially if I'm going with someone who has never been before. ((NYC for New Years Eve was something I would never do again though, the crowds and smells and prices were ridiculously absurd.))
I agree with PP that I wouldn't necessarily fly cross-country for the experience though. I luckily live only a few hour train ride away so it's a great trip for a long weekend. You can also keep the trip pretty MM by shopping around for hotels (I used TripAdvisor) and paying in full in advance, chances are that you won't spend much time in the room anyway. I would also shop ahead and search resale sites for Broadway tickets and even try for any "tasting menu" promos at fancy restaurants.
Some towns in Upstate have small festivals and the like around Christmas time, and it's pretty popular in the area I grew up in to go to Hudson's Winter Walk, which features art from local artists, music, and some activities and specials from businesses in the area.
It's really quite lovely, and my mother still goes every year.

Obviously I'm biased, but NOLA is an awesome city for NYE. We drop a lighted Fleur De Lis for the countdown. The FQ is completely packed. There are fireworks over the MS River and bonfires along its levee. We're also a city that decorates big for every holiday, so there are fantastic Xmas displays everywhere. It can be chilly, but no snow.
Now watch, just because I said that, it is going to snow this NYE, lol. We get one day of snow like once every 5-10 years.
I've also been to Vegas on NYE. That's another good time. The casinos all do it up big, lots of fireworks, and everyone is hanging out all along the Strip for the countdown.
