Publisher Comments:

The experience of New York City at Christmas time has enthralled residents and visitors alike since Clement C. Moore wrote The Night Before Christmas in his house in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan in 1823, inspiring tributes to the city in words and images. In A Very New York Christmas, Michael Storrings captures the magical landscape and excitement of the holiday season in dozens of watercolors, which since 2003 have been turned into bestselling Christmas ornaments. Sold in major retail venues across the country, his limited edition ornaments have a worldwide fan base and sell out performances in such stores as Saks, Bloomingdale's, and Bergdorf Goodman. This year a special ornament will be produced to coordinate with the book.  

Portraying both famous traditions like Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the lighting of the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Angel Tree to less well-known ones like the Christmas lights in Brooklyn’s Dyker Heights, the Boys Choir of Harlem, and the Holiday Train show at The New York Botanical Garden, A Very New York Christmas crisscrosses Manhattan and the four outer boroughs to bring us a Christmas for all New Yorkers--whether residents or just fans. 

Including a delightful foreword from Cynthia Nixon (Miranda from Sex and the City) this jewel-like book combines festive quotations from literature and popular culture with Storrings’s charming watercolors of forty cherished New York holiday scenes making this a perfect gift and yuletide keepsake.

Synopsis:

Anyone who has experienced the sights and sounds of New York City during the holiday season knows that this larger-than-life city becomes more intimate and magical at Christmastime. Storrings captures these scenes and dozens of others in delightful watercolor paintings.

Synopsis:

Anyone who has experienced the sights and sounds of New York City during the holiday season knows that this larger-than-life city becomes more intimate and magical at Christmastime.

Familiar places, like Central Park, are transformed with lights and snow. The Empire State Building is bathed in red and green light. Beloved traditions, such as the angel tree at the Metropolitan Museum, are renewed each year.

In this book, Michael Storrings captures these scenes and dozens of others in delightful watercolor paintings, which since 2003 have been turned into bestselling Christmas ornaments. From the opening of the season with the Thanksgiving Parade, to the dropping of the ball in Times Square on New Year's Eve; from the Bronx to Staten Island, across Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan, A Very New York Christmas captures the sights and sensations of this beloved city at it's twinkling holiday best.

With a delightful foreword by Cynthia Nixon, heartwarming quotations, and bits of information about Christmas in the city, A Very New York Christmas will make the magic of a New York Christmas accessible to everyone, anywhere in the world.
