I went to see Macy’s windows and Bergdorf’s Christmas windows. So far my favorite windows geared towards children were still the ones at Saks Fifth Avenue. All of their windows were beautiful! Their Big Bad Wolf one was great, Sleeping Beauty was truly beautiful, and then some of them were slightly odd or thought provoking, such as Rapunzel looking as if she is ready to do acrobatics while hanging from her braided hair. Rumpelstiltskin was portrayed as a spinning instructor with an evil eye and grumpy look that actually made me tense for a second. The colors were wild and exciting.
I also included some pictures of the area around Rockefeller Center in this post and the decorations there. A huge Drummer stood to the side of the skating rink area and angels, as usual, lined the area between the skating rink and leading up to the crosswalk to get to Saks Fifth Avenue.
Macy’s had some windows geared towards little ones with a story about a young girl named Virginia and her letter to Santa Claus. They also had a Build a Bear window and SpongeBob. Their windows were bright and colorful as well.
Lord and Taylor’s had some lovely fairy windows. The small fairies, inside capsules lit up and moved around. They also had a bunch of mice theme going on with mice scurrying about and playing amongst the Christmas decorations.
I passed Kikkerland in the West Village and they had a lovely toy monkey scene in their window. Their window was rather small but they made it bright and cheery.
There are lots of pretty windows to see around town. I think some of the loveliest decorations are hanging outside restaurants, or on door ways of old brownstones. If you have children and want to take them somewhere with an indoor Christmas scene set up, Macy’s has one. I didn’t venture inside since I wasn’t up for all that but I am sure it is fun for children!!
