This was a library discard I saved. Its a sort history of the NYC department store Christmas windows. It was an interesting evolution and the windows are a unique form of entertainment. They are completely free to viewers. There were a handful of the inserts in the second picture giving the reader the appearance of looking through a window. Only complaint is I wanted more pictures! #wintergames2020 #ReadNosedReindeer

I cant believe the whole written list fit 😆. Here's my TBR for December. I tried to give myself some variety. We'll see how well I do. #ReadNosedReindeer #wintergames2020

#windowshopping (no. 4) 1999 Bergdorf Goodman window. These posts are dedicated to all the retail Littens working today. My heart goes out to you all. I ran a fine jewelry department for a number of years and I feared this day more than any other. I would rise at 4 a.m so I could open all the jewelry safes by five and have everything in its place by six. I would get back home by midnight, feeling defeated and browbeaten. Stay strong!💪🏻💪🏽💪🏿

LeahBergen That sounds brutal! 😮 8y
Suzze That sounds crazycakes. At B&N we had to be there at 6, but we never got a crush until afternoon. I think that why they started the signed copies , to get people into the store earlier. I do not miss the holiday season one single bit. 8y
Crinoline_Laphroaig I spent my time in retail years ago. Always so grateful to be at home on holidays 8y
quirkyreader Today people kept asking if there were any deals. I said no, but Sale Saturday is next week. When I rolled out the shoe trolleys today the customers swooped in and had major fun. 8y
Hobbinol @missnavigation and @quirkyreader And you both lived to talk about it! 🙂Thanks for your comments! 8y
