NYC for Christmas!!!

I am so excited!  My mom graduates with her Masters in January, so I really want to do something big for her!  She LOVES Christmas and has never been to NYC, so I'm thinking it's about dang time to take her to NYC FOR Christmas :)

I have lots of hotel points still from my old job and I have a $400 voucher for Delta. My sisters and future BIL are in on it too!  Our idea is to just tell my mom to take off of work and tell her to pack for somewhere chilly.  We won't tell her where we're going until we get to the airport!

Re: NYC for Christmas!!!

  • That's an awesome idea!

  • YAY!!!! NYC is the awesomest at Christmas!!  Maybe don't tell her chilly, tell her friggin cold!! When exactly are you coming in?? I think we are planning around the 11th.. Maybe we can GTG and have a quick cocktail..
  • That is such an awesome idea!  I really want to surprise somebody like that someday.

  • I love NYC and can't wait to go back!  It will be super super cold though!

    I went last year in October for a girl's wknd and that was chilly enough for me.  I think next time I'll aim for spring.  DH has never been, so I really want to take him!

  • What a fatabulous idea!!!

    I am pretty sure it's similar to Michigan weather though, and it is usually flipping cold!

  • Amy - we will be there the 18-21 so we will miss you :(

    Yeah, when L and I went last October is was freakin chilly, so I know it will be cold, but I can't wait!!  Good look-out on the verbiage though; I'll tell her really cold instead of chilly.  She's going to think we're headed to Chicago because I always talk about wanting to go there at Christmas.  She'll be floored and pumped when she realizes it's NYC!!

  • I would think cold in Chicago is about the same as NYC.  I'd dress really warm if you though October was cold.

  • Awesome idea! NYC during Christmas is just amazing...the tree, the lights, the stores. How fun! Book soon to get good deals because prices are higher then since they know so many people come for the holidays.

  • That's wonderful! I've always wanted to go at Christmastime. Nick has been and said it was great but FREEZING (not telling you anything you haven't read in this post already - lol).

     I've only been a couple times in the freaking hot of July. We may go next anniversary.

  • That is a really awesome gift. She's going to be psyched!
  • Christmas is definitely the best time to go to NYC. It's gorgeous. I don't think it's quite as cold as Chicago but it's definitely cold in December.

  • That is an awesome idea! I have always wished that someone would do that for me, and I have hinted to Ben.

    I love NYC and have always wanted to go at Christmas. Have fun!

    I heart Ben!!
