macy's presents santaland 2013

when i was a kid i had heard of going to see santa at macy's in new york city

that miracle on 34th street really puts in a lovely plug for the department store

since me sitting on santa's lap is a little inappropriate

we made a kid to live our dreams 

so mares went to santaland (along with her parents and grandparents)

it was magical (mostly for her mother)

 santaland arrival

 a sweet holiday tree to the left

 gingerbread extravaganza to the right

 then a snow choir

 a train/city scene that rocked the joint

 the rainbow bridge was fabulous in every way

 i want one in every hall of my house....

wait right now that would be my living room/kitchen/hall

 sly pic taking

mares needed a santaland snack/nap

naturally she would be napping....

 we awoke this bear cub from her slumber

santa was around the bend

 finest postal box in the city 

(sorry mom.... maybe it's usps ran)

 another candid pic.... 

(mares and dale are always on to my tricks)

 nutcracker stuffed animal version

 lip balm chewing was the must do event in santaland

 bond sesh in the "land"

 this santa's helper wanted to be in a pic. 

the deer were what i was after.... 

 crazy globe of electronics

 we arrived and it felt so good

 north pole village 

(written in elfin script)

then came the santa meeting

he offered his finger

she wouldn't take it

so we sat in as a family

mares was still unsure

she started feeling comfortable

then we nailed her with santa bonding

(he was equally pleased)

we may have to take mary to every santa in the city.... just to temper her. 

santaland was a lovely holiday extravaganza. 

hope your santa experiences are awesome (like ours was....)
