Hello Reader! I bring you glad tidings of good times in Gotham! It's time for my annual NYC Holiday Magic webinar series. These LIVE! shows are the most anticipated and well attended of the year. For 2023, I have created 3 shows, each with a different festive topic. I've made it easy to remember the date and time of the shows. On the 7s at 7. So that's December 7th, 17th, and the 27th at 7PM ET. You may have heard that I'm no longer using Zoom for my weekly LIVE webinars. The new system (sessions.us) is great because you never have to download anything, just click the link in a web browser on your computer to join the show. You do need to register for the shows, though, to receive the link to join, but that's easy enough--just provide your name and email address. Reader, as a loyal subscriber to my email list (THANK YOU!), all you need to do is register for the first event - TONIGHT'S SHOW - and I will magically copy your registration to the 2nd and 3rd shows. So, you only need to register ONCE, but you DO need to register - each person gets a personal link that I can't email to you directly.
The first show in the series is this TONIGHT, Thursday, December 7th at 7PM: Christmas in New York City (Dec 7th @ 7PM ET)Tonight's show covers the varied history of how the holiday has been celebrated starting with the customs brought to the island by the original Dutch settlers on up through modern times. Along the way, we cover some of the most iconic topics that are now associated worldwide with Christmas that began right here in NYC: "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus", "Twas the Night Before Christmas", Christmas tree sidewalk vendors, and public tree lighting including the sweet and story of the very humble beginning of the most famous Christmas Tree -- Rockefeller Center -- that millions of people from all over the world flock to visit each year. City Sidewalks (Dec 17th at 7PM ET)This 2nd show in the series is always super popular.
