There is a light that never goes out

The Rockefeller Tree Lighting happened last night:

As usual, it was a hell of a mess.

Closed streets, confusing cops, a huge crowd...but this time, it was also freezing balls.

People were all so cheerful and happy to be standing in the cold for two hours that became even friendlier than usual. I was about to get killed at some point. But this is not the main story.

This year's show was starring:

-Rod Stewart (apparently famous)

-Tony Bennet (actually famous)

-Cee Lo Green (which is the last person in the world I would associate to Christmas)

-Mariah Carey (her giant boobs are now serving as Tree Ornaments)

-Somebody from American Idol

-Somebody from The Voice

-A teen Sensation in her late 30's

-Il Volo (...)

-The Muppets

-The Rockettes

-Billy Crystal (Was he Harry? Mmm, no, I think he was Sally)

-A drunk guy who was "friendly hitting" her girlfriend in front of us and then kissing her and then peeing on her feet. And then sharing a cookie. Oh, Christmas.
