My favorite Christmas moment, which there have been many of them has left much of an impact and those memories stay with me throughout the year. Looking over this topic, I really remember this one Christmas last year, in December of 2013. This Christmas left the biggest impact on me and has etched a lasting memory forever in my heart. I remember this very cold day in December, the air was crisp and Christmas decorations were being hung all over to celebrate the joyous season of Christmas. I was very excited because my mother and brother surprised me with a trip to Manhattan to enjoy the start of this beautiful season. Each year my mother and brother like to surprise me with this trip to Manhattan and it has become a family tradition since I could remember.
Every year we always like to look at the store windows as they always like to display Christmas decorations and some put shows on. One stop that we always made was to Rockefeller center to see the Christmas tree. This tree was so big that I wondered how they were able to get this huge tree into the busy city and into this small area. I also loved to watch the ice skaters skate around the tree and drink there hot coco. Just down the street from Rockefeller- Center is Radio City Music Hall. I knew my brother and mother were planning to surprise me as they stated earlier to me that this year was going to be an even more special visit. As we were walking my brother stopped into Radio City and I wondered why? As he went inside I walked over to a Volunteer working for the Salvation Army to patronize some money and the big moment happened, my brother walked out with three tickets in his hand and said we are going to see the show. I was so shocked that I think I thanked them both several times for this moment. It was the best feeling ever and I was amazed because it was my first time entering
