Here are the two biggest department stores in central Paris which are open until 10 pm on Thursdays: Au Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, side by side on the boulevard Haussmann.
I had to push my way through the crowd to view the windows.
Is Christmas for children only?
I don’t think so. I love the Christmas season….am I just a big kid at heart?
Or is it the memories of my own magical Christmases spent as a child and teenager throughout the 1960s and 1970s? It was always cold and there was always snow, lots of it, in the Toronto suburbs.
One year I received a pair of blue ice-skates. Neither powder blue nor periwinkle blue, they were a true robin’s egg blue. I loved those skates. I wonder what happened to them?
I do get nostalgic at this time of year. Like the big clocks in this window below, time passes…TIC TOC TIC TOC.
more festive photos to come next week…
Wonderful photos Juliet. We had an easy bake oven, and made little cakes.
Guess you only remember, what you want to believe at our age!
What happened to my blue ice-skates? Any idea?
Beautiful photos, Juliet. Can’t wait to see more.
Thanks!
In the 60s I remember receiving that Twister game under the tree, a metal Slinky and an Easy Bake Oven. I didn’t have Barbie but rather her sister, Skipper. We had less back then, but I think we were happier.
Life was certainly simpler back then. I am very nostalgic for those two decades: the 60s and 70s. I feel lucky to have lived them.
