wordless Wednesday -- Christmas in NYC — Macy’s windows.

-
The big department stores in NYC all do themed windows for the holidays.


We didn’t do our big hike around the city.  You can’t get near the windows at Saks, too crowded.  And too many stores have closed.


But Macy’s endures.



Macy’s actually does two sets of windows.  We didn’t bother with the 34th Street windows, they always tell the story of “Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus”.

But the Herald Square windows .... this year’s theme is Believe in Wonder.  It’s all about a girl who wants to be Santa Claus.










When you get to the last window, you can pose ...and temporarily become part of the display.  Of course we had to try this.






Nice windows this year.  We loved them.

    Their store on State Street in Chicago (which used to be Marsahll Field's) is done up pretty fancy, too. I think it's the only one left on State Street that decorates like that...

    This is so cool! I was last in Macy's Herald Square in 2013 and last downtown to see the store windows (probably) in 1972. It's been too long. I was in New York City on Christmas Eve and Christmas last year, but my heart was elsewhere. I need to go back. How beautiful those windows are, and I loved the several interactive aspects.

    No, there were too many kids waiting to scratch his nose. I loved watching their faces, though, when they scratched the dog’s nose.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
