Tumblr post by transgenderer: The Macy’s windows this year are “Macy’s windows themed” like they depict people looking at the original Macy’s windows from 100 years ago, in a little diorama inside the windows. I thought this was stupid at first but I decided it’s apt. Christmas has been about “Christmas” since at least before the Charlie brown Christmas special like 50 years ago. It’s an entirely meta holiday. You’re not celebrating anything but the idea of celebrating something. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Macy’s windows are overhyped, go see the Saks Fifth Avenue light show. It’s outdoors and projected onto the building with coordinated music, it changes every year and I’ve always enjoyed it. Then you’re like a 2 minute walk away from the Rockefeller Center, where you can see that iconic over the top NYC Christmas scene that’s always on movies and TV, of a gigantic decorated Christmas tree outside with a ton of people ice skating in front of it. Then get some spiced nuts, that shit’s good. Perfect Christmas outing in NYC 👍
