Visitors congregate in Manhattan’s Central Park on Christmas Day.

As I have previously written, we spent a week in Manhattan right around Christmas and New Year’s Day, mainly with family visiting in mind but also, of course, to see Manhattan and other parts of New York City. We have visited during this season many times, and we’ve seen quite varied weather. The time before this we experienced recording-breaking cols, but this time the weather was hardly cold at all — the light and atmosphere looked winter-like, but temperatures were 20 or 30 degrees above what we experienced on that earlier visit.

On Christmas Day we took a long walk up the east side of Central Park, then crossed it before heading back down the west side. To no one’s surprise — this being Manhattan! — even on Christmas Day there were crowds everywhere. This large collection of people in Central Park may have been around a frozen pond, though the clear skies and sunlight took the edge off of the cold this time.
