Does Anyone Like to Window Shop for Christmas?

[Chillywilly]

Does anyone like to window shop for Christmas? I find myself going to stores to see if they have a nice Christmas Display and what all they have. It is something that I really enjoy doing. Just curious if anyone else does?:rudolph:

Sadly we don't have a lot of store's around here any where that have window shopping and I do miss it . There are a few store's up town but most of them have went to the mall,some have displays ,some don't .

I remember when I went window shopping with my parent's as a little girl.

I love window shopping! It gives me ideas as to what I want to get for each person on my list. But it is more fun when I can buy something!:snowball:

[Chillywilly]

It does give me ideas as well. But I can't help getting that warm feeling about this special time of year. It just great!

I don't live in an area with many stores that do window displays so my mom and I are going to go into the city this year for some Christmas shopping, window shopping and to just suck up all the Christmas spirit we can!

[trackrebel]

I know how you feel!

[VeryWelshXmasLover]

Ooooh Yes! I love window shopping. Only problem is I can't just leave it at that, I have to go in the shop too which usually leads to buying something - I just can't help myself at Christmas time! lol

[SparkleNana]

Yes, yes, and yes!

There is a very small, indoor mall in the nearby city, which is decrated beautifully for Christmas. It is the same every year. It is a two-story mall, with an open balcony all around the second floor. The entire mall is decorated in pine garlands (beautiful quality artificial) and white twinkling lights. Each shop has windows to the walkways - and each is decorated (even if just with more pine garlands and twinkling lights. Most have much more.) A grand piano is rented for the season from Thanksgiving to New Year's, and professionals are hired to play Christmas songs. There are many small tables with chairs, throughout the center of the mall. You can buy a delicious hot drink (coffees or chocolate or tea) and sit listening to the beautiful music. And watching people enjoy the place, as they shop and window shop. My husband looks forward to this yearly visit very much!

And, my husband has a favorite place to window shop too! It is in yet another city. It is a three-story big mall - with a three story center atrium, and balcony/walkways around the center - on each floor. Each year, the mall installs the same incrediblt two-story display in the center of the atrium. It is big delicate, beautiful reindeers and snowflakes - which look like crystal - filling the middle of the atrium. They are covered with white twinkling lights -- which sparkle in the sunlight from the giant skylight. (At night, of course, they sparkle too!)

This mall has a food court on the bottom floor - under the decorations. Santa's Throne is beside the food court. So - you can get lunch (or supper) and watch the children visit Santa. My husband likes to do all his shopping at this mall. (I am finished by this time.) So, I bring a Christmas magazine or two, and enjoy a drink in the food court while he shops. When he is finished, we have lunch or supper.

We both really enjoy these trips. However, when we have celebrated Christmas in other places, we have found other Christmas things to enjoy. Each place has its joys at Christmas.

When I was growing up I remember how each store would have a wonderful window display for Christmas, especially the department store in my hometown. Now with malls are the only shopping outlets you don't see the beautiful window displays anymore but I call when I go shopping and not buying, window shopping. And I love to get ideas for decorating and etc.

Pick me! I'm a window shopper!!! I love to look at all the displays, & lights. LOVE IT!! A friend & I are going "window shopping" on Nov. 2nd when our local hardware store has their "grand opening" of this years Enchanted Village! :grin: Right now they have all the windows covered in red & green paper so nobody can see in... (they turn their garden center into a big Christmas display)

[Chillywilly]

That sounds fun Holiday. I know that you will enjoy yourself.:gift:

[Janey]

I always go window shopping! I love it and it gives me so many ideas too :)

[Minta]

ME! ME! ME!
I love going into stores to look at their Christmas decorations and stuff. It's a great pick me up!

[novelist]

:snowball:I LOVE going into different stores and seeing their Christmas departments and displays. I especially LOVE when there are decorations that move around or make music. I wouldn't want them in my home, but it's nice to look at in the store.

[Doris Walker]

I love it!
We don´t have that many shops in my town but I have been going to most of the shops this week, just to see how it goes getting the christmas stuff up in the shelfs.
I´m known here as the "christmas nut" so people think it´s cute when they see me bying a lot of christmas stuff already.
I think it´s cute that they think it´s cute cheesy

[Chillywilly]

In my family it is the same thing for me. I am the Christmas Nut!:tree:

[Mumof2]

we love to walk along the Little shops in the small downtown area here in North Attleboro.But I gotta tell ya I miss going to downtown Boston for the bigger window displays.

[mistletoe misfit]

I enjoy window shopping and window buying! lol
All friends and family call me the "Christmas freak" Sometimes said in a loving way, sometimes in a you're a real nutcase kind of way.

[christmasgranny]

Christmas is the only time of year that I mind looking at the stuff in a store and not buying. :sparkle:

I love everything associated with Christmas. Lights, commercialism, feelings of good will towards men, the crowds...all of it! LOL

[jackncrystal]

Yes!! I love window shopping. My husband loves to look at the Christmas villages. We just don't the space to put a large one because the cats will have lots of fun with it.

[scottish*mama*claus]

[Christmas-A-Holic]

I love to window shop! My husband and I have already been doing that and on black Friday we do more of that than really shopping.

[snowytree]

I was just window shopping last weekend with my husband and kids. Macy's has their Christmas store open in one of the malls just northwest of us. They have some beautiful trees and decorations!

[kelly ann]

Yes! I would normally window shop for a few weeks to get an idea of what to get everyone for Christmas. I do end up buying something or other though...but its all good fun!!

[made582]

I window shop alot trying to figure out what to buy people. I also just love to go and look at all of the christmas decorations. I don't have to buy any but I just love to go and look at all of them.

[kerst]

ABSOLUTELY !!! wouldn't want to miss it. I go to various towns each year to check out new displays. It's all part of the fun !

[FANCEE]

Oh I love doing that!! It just makes me very happy!!
Annie

:thumbsup: same here! It lifts up my mood.

[Wenceslaus]

Macy's alone has quite a Christmas store, very classy. Good no matter which direction you look.

[Chillywilly]

I agree with everyone regarding this post. It is a lot of fun Window shopping. To me it truly adds to the Holiday season for me.:cry:

I take bus loads of people out of town and always take the opportunity to browse the stores and see what is available elsewhere. It is nice, and free, to look at all the new stuff that comes out this time of the year.
