Manhattanites go to a lot of trouble to decorate for the holidays, so it’s no surprise that they’re not quick to take it all down. The Rockefeller Center tree stays lit until Jan. 7. This year it’s a 74-foot Norway spruce illuminated by 30,000 lights. You can go skating at the rink onsite, see the Christmas show at nearby Radio City Music Hall or visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue. Other favorite Christmas trees around Manhattan include the tree and Neapolitan Baroque creche at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, up through Jan. 8, and the origami holiday tree at the American Museum of Natural History, up through Jan. 2. Elsewhere in the city, through Jan. 16, the Children’s Museum of Manhattan is hosting an exhibit, America’s Parade: Celebrating 85 Years of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, with posters, audio, video, artwork and models of floats and characters from the annual event kicking off the Christmas season.
