Why Christmas in New York Feels Like a Movie Scene

 Christmas in New York makes you feel that you have entered a movie set and nobody knows to call action. All is exaggerated, like the city is aware that it is being scrutinized and throws itself wholeheartedly into the game.

 You may come to believe that the magic is enhanced by the movies, but as soon as December comes, you know that it is barely the tip of the iceberg.

 Everything is different with the first snowfall. It falls on the streets like a light white dust, the yellow taxis become friendlier, and the steam rises out of the subway vents like adjustable billboards.

 When you are walking in Manhattan during cold weather, when you are in a coat, you half expect to hear a soundtrack of the ones you have heard before. You cannot but think of all the scenes you have seen at holiday time there year after year.

 What is movie-like about New York during Christmas is how life and spectacle coexist together. Sky-high Christmas trees are whizzed past by office workers. Buyers also squeeze in lines with gifts covered by wrappers.

 One of the street musicians performs some carol, and in a second strangers stop their pace, listening to each other for a few silent seconds. Such improvised scenes are even more strong than any performance.

 The lights have their role to play as well. The shop windows on Fifth Avenue narrate fantastic tales, and the apartment house lights are twining the plain strands of white lights.

 The city can be viewed as a living constellation and it looks like that through the lenses of the sky. It is intimate, even in the middle of millions of people, as viewed by the sidewalk.

 It takes you until you are out of the door to find out why New York at Christmas keeps reappearing on the screen. This is not due to its perfection. This is because it is real and special at the same time. And when you are in, strolling through lights and snow you see that you are not viewing a movie at all. You are inside it.
