Christmas lights all around

Since I was a child, one of my favorite plans has always been to go see the Christmas lights. I remember when my brother and I were little, our mother would put us in our pajamas, give us a blanket, put us into the car, and take us to see all the lights around the city. I still remember the excitement and joy of those moments.

This Thanksgiving break, I fulfilled a dream that had been on my bucket list for a long time. I had the opportunity to witness the Christmas lights in New York City. 

This experience felt a bit like being in "Home Alone." The city was like a giant playground of holiday cheer, just like in the movies. The city looked amazing with all the lights. As I walked through the streets, it reminded me of the scenes where Kevin McCallister explores the festive streets of the city. Walking in Central Park felt like being in a magical place. The trees had twinkling lights that made everything look enchanting. The tall buildings were even more impressive because the lights seemed to tell a story of happiness. People were happy, as there was music and laughter in the air. The energy, the excitement, and the magical atmosphere were all there, making it seem like a real-life holiday adventure.

What made it extra special was being with my friends. Like the good times from my childhood, I was now making new memories with the people I care about. The shared laughter and warmth among the lights made me feel close to everyone. Standing there, surrounded by the bright city lights, I thought about the magic of Christmas. It wasn't just about the pretty lights but also about the feeling of joy in the air. 

The Christmas lights in New York not only lit up the city but also made my heart feel festive. It was like a dream, a moment I will always remember, and a reminder that the simple joys are the best Christmas gifts.
