Isn’t this Christmas tree so pretty?! A few weekends ago, on a warmer-than-usual Sunday morning, we decided to go see the Lotte New York Palace’s Christmas Tree, and to our surprise, the courtyard’s gates were opening at that exact time.

My parents, siblings, and I stayed at this hotel’s Tower Suites during our wedding week so this brought back many lovely memories. Our wedding suite was on the 46th floor, overlooking St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Rockefeller Center, and the Hudson River. You can see a post about my wedding day here!
