For the folks of New York?

I will be visiting family around that time in NY. Just wondering what might be some good activities for Christmas Day? Is there a parade or something that might be worth going?

Google only results in the thanksgiving parade, but nothing for Christmas.

not that I know of ... Christmas Day is usually pretty quiet in the city, some people go to Central Park to hang out weather permitting.

My gf and I are volunteering at a local animal rescue on Christmas Day

Def. see the Rockefeller Center Tree, then stroll down 5th Ave to Bryant Park - they've put down a free ice-skating rink there, double back and go to DB Bistro Moderne or Triomphe on 44th for some great food. All this is within 5-6 blocks.
