twas the saturday before Christmas



a busy day yesterday
for some of us

a lot
 of plans 
 of things 
to get done
 to do
 a sick friend
 to visit

 amazing
 how easy
 it is
 to put off
 til tomorrow
what you mean to do today

 I called my friend Wendy
 who was recently discharged
 from Sloane Kettering
its her birthday

I wondered if she was up for a quick visit
tho
I got her laughing
 she wasnt up to a visit 

 after that
 it was easy
 to just
 put off 
some of the 
other 
to dos

My friend Donna and I went to Bergdorf Goodman
 to return something
 their Fifth Avenue windows
 are incredible

 here are a few iPhone snaps
 of the opulent Roaring Twenties themed windows








 it was cold
 snow showering
 on/off all morning
 the Saturday before Christmas
 streets werent as crowded 
as I would have expected

 even 
 Barney's 
where we went next 
was not very crowded

  In fact 
we decided to lunch
 at Fred's
 without a reservation

 there was a mere 10 minute wait!

 we each had a lovely glass of Proseco along with our lunch

Barney's teamed with Disney
as their theme this holiday season

last year they partnered with Lady GaGa

 here's a peek
 at the video
 running
 in 
Barney's Madison Avenue windows

 Mickey and Minnie 
go to Paris
 for the runway shows
 Mickey buys Minnie a designer dress
 for Christmas
 which 
transforms
 her




If you are in the city
 you must 
stop and watch
 the whole video 
and 
you must take time
 to
 oogle 
the Bergdorf windows 
they are truly spectacular


here's a video for those who won't get to see it in person http://youtu.be/ayzfwJZhKro
