Tradition

Traditions follow us.  They follow even if we embark on something like the 10 Year Plan.

The tradition of a Christmas tree is no exception.  

However, we are traveling light and did not bring with us a collection of ornaments and other holiday decorations.

Since the 10 Year Plan is underway, we decided this year to decorate a tree with mementos of our experiences so far.  So, here are photos of our first 10 Year Plan Tree.  Enjoy.

The "crown" of the tree

NYC is a serious sports town (the Islanders now play in the city)
NYC is a serious food town (miniature Cupcakes by Melissa are taste-packed morsels)

NYC knows entertainment.  3D glasses from the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes' Christmas Spectacular.

NYC is a serious opera town.  This production of Rigoletto channeled the Rat Pack from Ocean's 11.

NYC knows musicals.  Gentleman's Guide won the 2014 Tony for Best Musical. 
NYC knows stage plays.  The Gin Game with Cicely Tyson and James Earl Jones was a treat.
NYC has a lot of wildlife.  This friendly Polar Bear snuck into our apartment and took up residence on top of our tree.
A random hottie.  And her sister?
