Neal, I couldn't agree with you more about B. Altman's. Whenever I went into that store I felt as if I was transported back to NY in the 1890's. The interior was gorgeous, and yes, they did have the best Christmas windows. Sigh!

"x" and "c", on Christmas Eve morning, one of the cable channels trotted out a 1967 film called "Fitzwilly", which featured both interior and exterior scenes of B. Altmans at Christmas. Talk about feeling wistful...

I'm returning to my hometown after 35 years away and am so excited I cry thinking about it. But..I am arriving the day after Christmas. Will the trees and decoractions still be in place?

The day after Christmas? Of course they will. All the decorations should be up for at least a week after Christmas, I would think.

kammmi, some of those damn decorations are up for months after Christmas!!!
Since they go up before Thanksgiving, we are all sick of them before they take them down.
