I bet no one would be more excited to celebrate Christmas than Peach, who's most likely never experienced the holiday. Similar to that one scene in the movie Elf, Mario and Peach skip through midtown Manhattan, stopping every few feet to admire the Christmas trees on display, and then Mario decides to show Peach the biggest Christmas tree in the city: the one on display at Rockefeller Center.
Honestly, the only thing I immediately thought of when you mentioned that scene, is Mario spinning around in the rotating door of the department store, like Buddy does in the movie 😂
Peach would stand there smiling awkwardly, wondering if this is a normal human custom ^^;
Mario would also of course give her all the delights of the holiday. Taking her ice-skating and holding her hand tight as they skate around the edge, going around a Christmas market and treating her to mulled wine, going to a toy store and showing her the giant teddy bears ❤️💗
And of course, showing her the Rockfeller Centre Christmas tree! Peach would gaze in awe at the sheer beauty of it, while Mario would turn to her smiling, and notices how the lights sparkle so beautifully in her eyes...

my sweet boy
despite what happened the night before of her first public event (without anyone on her side), jes pulled everything together perfectly. of course did not forget to apologize as it had been stuck in her mind the moment she woke up, remembering what she did trying to run outside in the freezing cold night, threw up all over the floor in attempt to set herself free from her bodyguard— seymour accepted her apology with a chuckle.
jun called his daughter the same night at the event, congratulated her on her work well done, with some little 'demand' squeezed in between praise. but she made her choice and it's there's not going to be indecisive when it comes to her son.
she promised a month ago to take the boy to see the rockfeller christmas tree, ken always go wide eyed when he sees something bright, jes knows he will love it. when he smiled and tried to repeat after her over the words that difficult for him to pronounce, she would do anything for him, anything to make him happy.
****
"okay, we're ready!" she puts the hoodie up to ken's head, adjusting his little gloves when he runs off of the bedroom, resulting jes to chuckle at such an adorable excitement, following the small boy to where he's going, waddle himself away grabbing his frog plushie. ken holds it up, staring at both his mom and then the toy frog then slowly bringing it to his chest, asking jes if he can bring the toy with him.
crouching down to fix his clothing, making sure the cold won't get into him, "there are many space in mommy's car, so, yes, you can bring your friend with you." she sweetly answer her son, touching the tip of his nose. "but you have to make sure to take care of him, okay? keep him close, so he won't get lost." ken smiles then nods at her, little arms are open to let her carry him up. it takes no hold back when she showers ken with kisses to his face, to have such a cute angel in front of her, everyday she is reminded how lucky she is.
rockfeller center isn't so far away from where she's resided in new york but bringing ken she feels more safer to drive away with a car and it's freezing outside, if it's only her all alone, she'd rather walk. while ken isn't a very fussy kid, he is easy to get occupied with something and will takes him long to get bored. the amount of ken being quiet sure once brought a worry to jes, in the end, it has nothing to do with all her worry. some other time he gets to it, moody and talkative. he's only three, it's normal as they said it. probably god has make it easy for jes to go through parenthood all alone however she doesn't want to be proud, afraid that it will bring something bad. though overall she is nothing but grateful.
as she parked her car, jes looks to her left spotting the black audi parked at the same time and walked out seymour, insisted he needs to look after where she's going though jes had told him numerous time to take the holiday, the man stands to his words and jes doesn't really want to get into it anymore.
ken's eyes are quick to spot the glowing lights around him, a definition of jaw drop when his mouth shaped 'o' and eyes not leaving the glowing tree the moment he set eyes on it. jes brings him up to her chest, carrying him close as she smiles up at the sight of her son's face, his chubby cheeks and nose are turning red.
"you wanna get closer to the tree?" she points at the tree, ken holds her toy tightly to his belly. he looks at her for a moment then nods his head.
a hand presses to the center of her back, seymour is keeping a very close distance as the place is a bit crowded, they can only move forward not far away from the previous spot as jes does not want to risk squeezing in the crowd with ken in her arms.
"can we get a big tree in our home? like this?" he points at the glowing tree, asks her so innocently with eyes so big like he is hoping she would say yes.
"does ken wants a tree like this at home?"
"yes!"
"okay, but it will not be this big, it will still be bigger than you, though!" she softly and playfully scratches his belly resulting the boy to laugh and latching to jes' front, "but, we can make our tree at home glow just like this one."
"with so many light?" ken tilts his head as he looks back again at the three, eyes bright from the amount of light reflecting into his pair of orbs.
"mm-hm."
"with... with the big star?!" he squeaks, face not believing his mommy's answer to his question.
"yes!" she laughs at the adorable reaction, kissing his cold blushing cheek.
ken spends what's left in his mind probably thinking about the tree they're going to set up (again) at home with a star just like the one he is looking now be put on top and jes admires the view of her son staring at those lights. a simple thing to make him happy, but jes feels that it's a thousand years worth of happiness on her part.
she looks up to the tree, then to ken who's still staring up, squeezing him into her embrace, "merry christmas, my sweet boy."

Christmas tree at Lotte Palace Hotel 455 Madison Avenue.
From The Lotte, you can admire the gothic spires of Saint Patrick's Cathedral soar 330 feet above Fifth Avenue’s fashionable shopping district..
The New York Christmas starts, with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade at the end of November and the Christmas lights and window displays of the most famous cities in the Big Apple, such as Barneys, Tiffany & Co and Saks Fifth Avenue.
It’s almost Christmas and rather than the perfect and idyllic Christmas like the one shown on the ads every year, with the perfect family, the perfect gifts and the tree with its glass ornaments, yours is the real Christmas, your Christmas, the one with the long family lunches, the obligatory gifts, the blowout meals, the excuses to avoid certain get-togethers and of course, the passive-aggressive and critical comments all day long…

L'esperienza di Maria Letizia al Rockfeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting
Sono molto felice che Maria Letizia abbia accettato di condividere con noi la sua esperienza nell’aver partecipato all’accensione dell’albero di Natale di Rockfeller Center.

Era agosto, il termometro rasentava i 40…

On Christmas Eve 1931, a group of construction workers erected a 20-ft. tree on the muddy site of what would become one of the city's greatest architectural and commercial monuments.Two years later, a Rockefeller Center publicist organized the first official tree-lighting ceremony.

New York brings back the Christmas Magic. First picture: Astor Hall Christmas Tree by Jonathan Blanc, The New York Public Library NYPL. 
It’s almost Christmas and rather than the perfect and idyllic Christmas, yours is the real Christmas, your Christmas. Snow is falling, bells are ringing, and the chestnuts are roasting on an open fire. Yup, it's my favorite time of year. This magic  is almost indescribable. The energy of the city, the lights and decorations, not to mention the amazing Christmas trees to see!
