……………..We had a wonderful meal at DEL FRISCO’S GRILLE. Kathy and I both had the pumpkin bisque soup followed by the fish special……French fries on the side!!!……DELICIOUS!!!! Then we went for our final walk about before departing…them on the train and me driving back to CT. The sun had set by now and all of the lights shown even more bright and beautiful than before. Saks was putting on its’ light show, photo second in from the bottom right, and it was wonderful with lots of applause by all. We walked by FAO Schwartz, and I had to take a picture of the little girl’s moving auto….totally covered in red SWAROVESKI  crystals! The sign next to it read, originally $25,000.00…..reduced to $14000.00. I think it will be in the window next Christmas reduced even further!!! LOL…….There was a very nice young man singing Christmas Carols near the ice skating rink. He had a beautiful voice, and I noticed his little basket was empty so I happily made a donation….Hopefully some other people would follow my lead…..He gave me a big thank you…..It made me fell good….Finally, I noticed a young couple struggling to take a selfie of each other. I said, “would you like me to take your picture?” He replied, “no that’s OK”, but she jumped in right away and said “oh yes, could you please take it”….Then she said they had just gotten engaged the night before, and she showed us her beautiful ring!!! Kathy, Nina and I congratulated them and we made a big fuss over them as they were smiling from ear to ear. Their accent gave it away that they were Brits from London, and they came to see the magic of Christmas in NYC….and he proposed….A trip they will never forget and stories to tell their grandchildren. We talked for a while….they were a lovely young couple…. Joe and Lucy……..This was the perfect ending to a truly MAGICAL DAY!
