This Sunday, December 4th, Park Avenue will twinkle with two and a half miles of holiday trees after a ceremony that begins at 6:30pm!   The Park Avenue Memorial Tree Lighting tradition started after WWII by Mrs. Stephen C. Clark and friends, as a memorial to those who have died in all of our countries wars.  The illuminated trees on Park Avenue are made possible each year by contributions from the community to The Fund for Park Avenue. Gather on the front steps of The Brick Presbyterian Church on 91st and Park Avenue for words of remembrance and celebration from the Reverend Michael Lindvall followed by a rousing carol sing with the entire community.  This year we will also be remembering our friend, Roger Webster who was a tireless champion for The Fund.  Please be generous with your contributions.

We are so thrilled to have a great friend’s invitation for dinner with the instructions “Dress for Caroling and Holiday Fun“,  so we went shopping at Bergdorf Goodman for attire that was fittingly festive.  Nothing says “holiday” like a LRD (Little Red Dress) and this cozy Ralph Lauren knit will keep you both warm and stylish all winter long.  It is also available in Black.   We dressed it up with a sparkle of gold jewelry and topped it off with a gorgeous Fleurette Fur Trimmed Coat whose classic style makes it a perfect investment piece for a long winter’s night.    Happy Holidays!
