FREE Christmas Cheer: Holiday Store Windows

If you’re still in NYC this week and you’re not feeling Christmasy, follow Anna’s awesome tips on how to spend your free time. If you are feeling Christmas-y and you want some visual Christmas cheer, ’tis the season to stare at the windows of stores you can’t afford. Fifth Avenue is consumerism central, but it doesn’t cost anything to stare at the windows.

All the fancy department stores have their windows decorated for Christmas, and they’re, for a lack of a better word, magical. You will have to fight tourists to get views, but it’s totally worth it. I don’t want to spoil the surprise of each one, but I will say there are towns made out of books, paper hedgehogs, giant bows made of red lights, chameleon saws, metal cars, animatronic disco dollhouses, shiny jewels, Christmas trees, and every possible thing you never realized you want to stare at.
