One of our Christmas traditions is to take our boys into New York City to Macy's at Herald Square for a visit with the REAL Santa Claus! (Those who have seen Miracle on 34th St will know what I mean.) It is a very special trip and I look forward to it every year.
We start out by taking the train from the station in the town my parents live in. Christian rode the train for the first time last year, but he was only a couple of months old so he really missed out on the experience of it. However, this year, he really enjoyed it. And Ian always enjoys taking the train!
The Santaland at Macy's if phenomenal! The boys really enjoyed looking at everything and the pinnacle is getting to see Santa. (Ian asked for a Bicycle with 99 Rocket Jets on it. We'll have to see about that one! LOL When Santa asked Ian what Christian wanted for Christmas, Ian told him that Christian wanted a Bicycle with 2 Rocket Jets on it because he is just a baby.)
We got to enjoy a puppet show this year since we got to Santaland at the right time and didn't have a long line to wait in. Both boys really enjoyed the puppet show. Christian loves to cheer and clap when other people do.
And of course, the day always ends the same way...with 2 very tired little men! (And just a disclosure...half of these images were taken by Shan. I was manning the stroller through Santaland! LOL)
Now that is a great tradition! I hope you enjoy your favorite holiday traditions with your family.
