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…
I do not miss NY snow ⛄️ not 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.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 2026 New Year Letter. Beautifully done❣️
Me too! Who knew?
DeleteI’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!!
ReplyDeleteYES!!! 🥂 🍾
DeleteLove 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.
ReplyDeleteSharp eyes 👁️ I did not even notice 🙄
DeleteGlad you engaged in a bit of nostalgia. As a native New Yorker (twice removed), I
ReplyDeleteenjoy going back to visit, but would not want to live there again. NYC is a young person’s game. Thanks for the memories.
NYC is a very rich person’s game these days $$$$$$
DeleteChristmas 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty hotel!

Interesting polka dot pillows😯
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this and the windows were clever but very much NY. Loved the Nathan’s dogs. Lynne
ReplyDeleteNew York hotdogs 🌭 one of a kind…the MOF of hotdogs 🌭 though maybe better in Germany 🇩🇪
DeleteI was recently thinking how bright and lit up and brash New York City Christmas decor is relative to Paris’ windows and street decorations which seem beautiful snd elegant.
ReplyDelete‘Bright lights, big city’ NYC
DeleteGlad you went - the windows are very cute and not at all commercial. We always took the train into Chicago at Christmas to see the windows of Marshall Fields.
ReplyDeleteThe chestnut vendor (I think) in Paris NY window caught my eye!
ReplyDeleteAlways loved Henri Bendel's christmas decor - and tea room!
Glad you made the vicarious trip back down memory lane, Carol!
Aw…Bendels was fun wasn’t it 🎉
DeleteI think I need a Nathan's hot dog....
ReplyDeleteDo you ever get homesick?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
