Un Noël à New York 🎄 Printemps

 

On Friday, I ran to buy stamps (January letter is in the post!📮)

I passed by Printemps NOËL IN NEW YORK Christmas windows,

Which I have been 

Avoiding 

Like the plague 🙄

I did not move to PARIS! 

To be immersed 

In NYC 

At Christmas 🎄 

Time!! 🤯

In fact…

I thought they did a pretty good 👍 job!

It made me feel…

Quite nostalgic…

For the old hometown…

Hotdogs…yum yum

People hanging out on fire escapes…

Or Ice skating ⛸️ 

Like at Bryant Park



The funny thing about Printemps Christmas 🎄 windows this year, is they are not very commercial. What are they selling aside from the odd scarf 🧣 or purse 👛 ?

True, they recently opened a Printemps branch - ONE Wall Street. 🥂 🍾 

You can watch 👁️ a video of the Printemps windows HERE.

And watch 👁️ scenes from New York

I do not miss NY snow ⛄️ one bit ☺️

    I’m glad you relented and went to see Printemps windows…and enjoyed it! It looks like they did a nice job. It’s really cute! Funny the French fascination with NYC, they sure do romanticize it.

    Congrats on your 2026 New Year Letter. Beautifully done❣️

    I’m glad you went! And they really don’t look so much like NYC Christmas windows … but then they aren’t🤣. Fun to see them from the US. At least they are an apolitical take on US culture, thank goodness!!

    Love your photos - glad you relented! Just watched the video - very nice, but they need to get their avenues and streets straight - where is Madison St? So cute.

    Glad you engaged in a bit of nostalgia. As a native New Yorker (twice removed), I
    enjoy going back to visit, but would not want to live there again. NYC is a young person’s game. Thanks for the memories.

    Christmas in NYC is magical and I agree that it’s a younger person’s city unless you are a tough old broad with a rent controlled apt on the UWS. The first snow in NYC is magical no matter what and they got a heaping serving the other day. My first Christmas in Paris, living at l’Hotel du Quai Voltaire, the champagne flowed and I was the one to get the baby in the King Cake!!!! T’embrasse et tu me manques!
