Chocolate Chip Recommends....Our Guide to the Christmas Season



Welcome to the Chocolate Chip Guide to Christmas....Here are a few of our favorite things:


Disney's The Princess & The Frog- In theaters nationwide December 11th - Make sure you check out our review.


A Charlie Brown Christmas- airs on ABC Tuesday December 15th 8pm EST

Truly a classic!! My brother, cousin and I used to ROFL watching those kids rock it out to Schroeder's tunes on the piano!!! (I know EVERY dance- Do you?) It's not Christmas until my mother hears Linus respond to Charlie Brown's plea "Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?"


Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special- airs on ABC Sunday December 13th at 10pm EST

Definitely won't be missing The Obama's first Christmas at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue




Alvin Ailey- at New York City Center thru January 3, 2010.

"I've been 'buked and I've been scorned...."

It is not Christmas without the beauty and power of Revelations. Without a doubt my most favorite activity of the season!

Take the children to the family matinee on December 26th



The Nutcracker- Anywhere USA. My mother and I take the children annually. This year we're headed back to the Westchester County Center to see their rendition the weekend of 12/18-12/20




Annual Riverside Christmas Concert Candlelight Carole Festival-

The Riverside Church 490 Riverside Drive New York, New York 10027

We used to love attending this event annually with our Brooklyn neighbors!! What a lovely way to usher in the holidays!







The Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Gardens

Without a doubt the BEST way to see NYC!


While you're there check out the Gingerbread Adventures and The Little Engine That Could™ Puppet Show






March of The Wooden Soldiers performed by the Rockettes at the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City thru January 3, 2010

Brings back such fond memories of my high school years....Shout out to Cardinal Spellman's Flag Corps who perform it annually



Ice Skating- Anywhere USA- Just found out yesterday that my husband has NEVER ice skated in his life!! We've never been able to bare the cold at Rockefeller Center, but Bryant Park or your local ice skating rink will certainly do the trick.

A Visit to the tree and the herald angels at Rockefeller Center- definitely a NYC must see
The Christmas Windows: Saks, Macy's and Lord & Taylor

MarieBelle Soho: The Cacao Bar

484 Broome St, between Wooster St and West Broadway

Simply divine!!!! We've driven very far distances to get a sip of the European-style Aztec Hot Chocolate- YUMMMMMM!!!!
484 Broome St, between Wooster St and West Broadway



A Warm Gathering of Family and Friends- potluck with the girls night crew or your neighbors- In all the busyness of our demanding schedules make sure you make time to share joy with those you love.


Your favorite things didn't make the list? Share so we can indulge too!
