NYC Christmas Bucket List: Ice Skating in Central Park
About a week ago, I made a bucket list for Christmassy things to do this year in New York. This past weekend, we crossed a couple of items off the list and had a cozy little time ice skating in Central Park. ๐Ÿ™‚

On our walk from home to the rink. ๐Ÿ™‚ Instead of going to the touristy spots to skate, (the spot in Southern Central Park, Bryant Park, or Rockefellar Plaza) we decided to skate up at the pool near Harlem. It was only $13 including skates *and* there was no line! I read that you can wait two hours at Bryant Park. Yikes!

And then back to the apartment for some White Russians. Technically this could cross off my “Make a new Christmassy cocktail” item on the bucket list, but I want to get a bit more adventurous. ๐Ÿ™‚

Homemade green curry. Sean’s an incredible cook.

And some peppermint tea to top off the night. A perfect end for a wonderful day. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Ah this looks fantastic! Your pictures are so pretty. But I think you should tell Sean that he was supposed to wear black pants for this outing to match all the lovely ladies. ๐Ÿ˜‰
