The Friday File: Macy’s Magical Moments!

Macy's Window 4 2014

Every Christmas season Macy’s Department store exhibits an absolutely magical montage of Christmas moments in the windows of their stores.  I tried to capture some of these for you; however, two things stood in my way:  me, and the window glare!  I do apologize for the lack of quality in these photos; nonetheless, I hope you get ‘the idea’!  Lots of baking special goodies in this display! The fellow near the Christmas tree actually spent his time whirling around it! I caught him just as he was rounding the back!

Macy's Window 2 2014

The displays are incredibly well done; they cause quite a crowd to form at each window, as you can well imagine.  Lots and lots of wrapping to do!  These toys are anxiously waiting to capture a child’s heart!

Note the, “Santa Mail” on the mailbox! Special delivery for Santa, including his own special, magical mailbox!

Macy's window 3 2014

Letters received! I knew they would make it!

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

        At the time Macy’s wasn’t in our state but the store we had did just as bang up a job and I loved it.

    Used to be Marshall Field’s, until it was sold to Macy’s, and we went every year. It was a tradition. We would go to see the windows and then eat lunch the Walnut room by the gigantic tree. Chicago history.

      Thank you, Dina! We don’t have Macy’s in Canada either; to me, it is magic at Christmas! I adore strolling by the windows, especially looking at the wee ones who are so excited!! Okay, the big kids too (me)! And to you as well!! Cher xo

    Hi Cher, we miss seeing you at BSA. I like the first photo where we can see you taking the picture. It adds a lot.
    The Japanese have a word “wabi,” which means the flaw in an object that makes it unique and beautiful.

      Awh, Dwight; thank you so much for your wonderful words. I miss you all, too. I love what you said about the photo; I shall have to use that lovely Japanese word more often, especially when I look at my photos! *grin* I’ll stop by sometime soon! I hope all is well with you! Cher xo
