The Magic of Macy's

Children of all ages marvel at the Macy's Christmas window displays.

In recent years the magic of Christmas has gone over my head as I have focused and obsessed over other things. This year I decided I "need a little Christmas" and am making an effort to immerse myself in and enjoy the magic of the holiday. It isn't changing the issues that are bothering me, but it is providing joy in the midst of it all, and that is worth a lot.

Mommy, Look!

A child exclaims over what he sees in the Macy's window as his little brother looks on.

Technical Notes: The bright colors of the window display partly obscured the look on their faces. Since the focus of the shot is their reactions to the display, not the display itself, I chose to display this photo in black and white. The absence of color makes their expressions clearer.
