I Spent Christmas Eve in New York City… in 1947

What was Christmas Eve in New York City really like in 1947? 🎄❄️ I stepped into New York City on Christmas Eve, 1947 — expecting department stores, crowded streets, vintage Christmas decorations and the famous Rockefeller Center tree. But the day became something completely different. From exploring the Christmas displays of Manhattan and stepping inside a bustling 1940s department store, to meeting a lost little boy named Tommy and unexpectedly being welcomed into a family’s Christmas dinner, this became a Christmas I never expected. And when we finally reached Rockefeller Center at night, with snow falling and the Christmas tree glowing above us, I realized the best part of the day wasn’t something I had planned at all.
