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
The original point of winter celebrations was to get through the long dark nights and bitter cold with the warmth of family and friends. So, who the fuck cares about the window dressing? (Pun not intended but I'm keeping it anyway)
