Look what we have here! This is the Macy’s Christmas Tree for the 2017 holidays! At a whopping 45 feet, it’s no wonder the patrons of the, “Walnut Room” restaurant look present-sized, don’t you think?
The folks who design and decorate this tree year after year come up with the most spectacular and eye-catching creations. I looked at this tree for about 15 minutes and snapped a lot of photos in the hope that at least one would turn out as close to what I ‘saw’ with my eyes as possible. This one is pretty darn close.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the lighting at the top of the room changes at certain intervals; I caught the red glow, but I believe green had just appeared, and previous to that was blue. What fun!
In case you are wondering where I was standing in order to get this pic, Macy’s has an actual little staircase up to a platform where you can stand to get a ‘spot on’ shot!
I’ve had a chance to take some pics of the Macy’s window displays, so I’ll post those soon!

Oh thank you, Sue! Do you? Isn’t it lovely? I always look forward to seeing what Macy’s has created! Last year’s tree was blue and silver (did you see it)? This year’s tree is much more traditional in colors, but I love it too! Cher xo

Isn’t it nice, John? And yes, it is huge!!! I’m glad Macy’s allows its customers to get some good pics from a special area or I’d never be able to get the entire tree in one pic! Cher ox

I had a great-aunt who worked at Field’s, and at Christmas we’d go downtown and join her under the tree. Glad to see Macy’s is still doing that.

That must have been so cool, John! Yes, it is nice that Macy’s took over the Marshall Fields tradition, isn’t it? Cher xo
