That was the night they were "testing" the giant tree at Rockerfeller Plaza for its lighting ceremony that was to be on the weekend. There were hardly any people out on that warm night and we stood there while the tree was turned on and off several times and the snowflakes on Saks Fifth Avenue were turned on for the first time that year. It was magic, like a light show just for us! I loved your photos!Saucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959141177904095053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10714961.post-1166709477767234982006-12-21T07:57:00.000-06:002006-12-21T07:57:00.000-06:00Lovely jubbly, as the Brits say.

Always different each year, it must cost him a fortune, but you can tell he just loves to do it.<BR/><BR/>Talking about taxis, I have been run over by one !!! and it hurt.... a lot.

They all said Macy's was the BEST! It looked like the one you have pictured that is interactive. They also showed Bloomingdales, Barneys and Neiman Marcus in Dallas.
