Remarks by Mrs. Bush at Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting
What a great time to be in New York City! The lights, the store
windows, and this magnificent tree in Rockefeller Center are what all
Americans think of when they think of Christmas and the holiday
season.
As we remember the loved ones lost and reflect on the spirit and
courage that New Yorkers have shown in abundance, let us be thankful
for our families, our friends, and our great country.
Whether you're skating under this beautiful tree or taking in the
lights and stars of Broadway, America loves New York.
Now more than ever I hope Americans will visit our great cities to
celebrate the magic and wonder of the holiday season.
President Bush and I wish for all Americans a happy holiday season
and a New Year filled with Peace.
The magic is back in the Big Apple and it's time to turn on the
lights!
