{jottings & a good idea for giving}

I got a call last night from one of my dad's long-time friends asking where (of the hotels he was looking at) he and his wife should stay in NYC if they want to be close to all the Rockefeller Plaza Christmas goings-on.

Of course I told him the truth (midtown) but oooooooooooooh I can't imagine wanting to be there. RockeHELLer Plaza? the big giant tree? rockettes? tourists buying NBC peacock embroidered sweatshirts? am I jaded? too New York?
