Macy's Christmas Window Displays

These are  Macy's window displays from Christmases past. I was going to put them in my last post about Macy's at Christmas, but it would have been a really long post. I would love going to the big city to see these beautiful window displays at Christmas, and it would be perfect if it was snowing! What a dreamer!

This would be a favorite of mine! Some people hate this movie, but I love it and will never tire of it! I think if they didn't show it continually on Christmas Eve into Christmas Day, maybe people wouldn't hate it so much. You could appreciate seeing it more when it would only be televised once...at Christmas time.

Traditional Christmas Windows

Here are some photos of the traditional style of Christmas window display that's delighted generations of kids -- that were on display at the Hudson's Bay department store, in Toronto; the Hudson's Bay's history dates back to 1670, to the earliest North American trading posts.
