New York In Autumn

But there's more to New York than just shopping to die for! During the festive season the whole city becomes a fairy tale of extravagant delights as the locals gear up for ‘The Holidays'.

The lights are fantastic – literally entire tress are lit up in white lights – festive sculptures are dotted around the streets and the annual Christmas Tree and Neapolitan Baroque Crèche at the Metropolitan Museum, one of the best museums in the world, is dusted off from 20 November–6 January 2008 and is truly unmissable!

Basically, it's a vivid 18th-century Neapolitan crèche scene — embellished with a profuse array of diminutive, lifelike attendant figures and silk-robed angels hovering above — that adorns the candlelit spruce. There's a lighting ceremony every Friday and Saturday at 7pm.

She says it is a great introduction. The silk is the canvas and using a "resist" the artist creates an outline and then applies the paint.
