Christmastime in the City (2024)

Our annual Christmas in the City adventures were divided into to parts. The first happened on Sunday when Laura and Matt surprised us with a trip to the Big Apple to see Suffs. After riding the Nostalgia Train, we saw The Tree with mom, and the Macy's windows.

The weather was in the low-40s, but the sunshine made it feel warmer. It was a good day.

Suffs

Don and I returned that Thursday to see Suffs and Death Becomes Her. We already had our tickets when Laura and Matt said they were coming to town. That gave us time to walk around just the two of us. We squeezed through Bryant Park, barely able to glance in the stands as we were in a tight crowd.

Then we walked down Fifth Avenue. We passed Saks, which this year opted to only show merchandise instead of tell a holiday story, on our way to see the Louis Vuitton store -- it was transformed into a bunch of their trunks. 

This time of year I miss the classic windows of Lord & Taylors and Altman and Company (where Don first told me he loved me in 1989). Seeing the windows was always a must-do this time of year. Not so much the past few years.
