Though I realize that the Thanksgiving celebration is upon us and the Christmas holidays are still a few weeks away, I wanted to share a little project that I had undertook several months ago. The longer term readers of this blogsite know that during the holidays I venture out across the city to capture some stills and visuals of a number of Christmas trees to share their splendor across social media and of course the website and our Official YouTube Channel. This year I decided to begin a little early and revisit the videos that I did in 2022. That year I recorded a lot of clips but instead of presenting them one at a time, I compiled them all together into one massively long video. During the following year’s adventure I realized that while a long clip is nice, the clip should be preceded by all of the individual visits as this will allow for maximum traction and likely help Channel growth more than just one long, long video. As I was posting last year’s adventures, I found that I still had all the individual clean clips from 2022 so they were formatted to spec and uploaded onto the Channel where they sat in the queue for almost a year before beginning to premiere today. The journey in this revisit begins with Brooklyn Commons and each video will premiere at noon until they are finished.

At the time of this writing, I am mapping out the 2024 adventuring to get the most possible done but I first need to confirm that all of the main trees are lit. I believe early next week will be the lighting of the Bryant Park, Wall Street and Big Kahuna at Rockefeller Center and as you know I also hit parts of Brooklyn and higher into Manhattan during this several day jaunt. The full playlist of all of my “Christmas In New York City” adventures can be perused at your leisure by clicking HERE. It’s my hope that it helps inspire those visiting our region during the holidays to do their own adventure or at least see a few of the trees that have been featured in these videos. I hope you will also give the YouTube Channel a subscribe since its been a thriving feed since its launch in late 2020. While it was 10 years overdue I’ve made up for lost time and have more than 900 videos and shorts to enjoy. Remember that watching and engaging with this content not only helps the growth but shows YouTube that we are up to something worth seeing. Thanks in advance for indulging this special project feature. There might be some new videos overlapping but that’s fine since it will only be the case this season.
