the best ornaments for a unique luxury Christmas tree

Published by Pamela Thomas-Graham

What’s your dream Christmas tree? One of the joys of the holiday season in New York City is that if you can dream it, somewhere in the city you can find it. For example, we spent an enjoyable hour at Bergdorf Goodman this week. There we found a dazzling array of truly unique luxury Christmas ornaments. With these, you can create a one-of-a-kind Christmas tree that expresses your inner spirit in some truly surprising ways. Sure, they’re expensive (most are $50 each). But you can always curate your collection one ornament – and one year – at a time.

In a vibrant section of downtown San Francisco lies The Museum of the African Diaspora. It’s an outpost of the Smithsonian Museum dedicated the art and culture of people of African descent worldwide. Did you know that? Did you also know that just a few steps away there’s a magnificent fountain dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? We’re embarrassed to say that we didn’t. Until a recent visit to the city by the bay, during which we paid a visit to both of these wonderful places.
