Ah, the holiday season in New York. The tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center, ice skaters swirling, whimsical store windows, the smell of roasted nuts in the bitter cold and Nat King Cole’s Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire playing endlessly wherever you wander – whether it be a Starbucks or your local WaMu branch. (Oops. I meant JP Morgan).

The holiday season in New York is not only Christmas, it is also Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, with both menorahs and kinaras-candleholders for both holidays-decorating the streets, building entrances and shop windows.
