Macy's Department Store - A Christmas Carol - Dickens Village - 12/12/24 - Philadelphia, PA

That display was so well done! It's more like a theme "ride". It must have cost a bundle and took a lot of time to set up, but it's well worth it - I imagine all the customers who stop to walk through this display come away with joy.

Thanks for your comment, mrs.g. Yes, it's a very joyful experience that's been a part of the Christmas tradition in the city of Philadelphia for over a half century! Come visit sometime! :)

@@carlaportocarrero6464 bucket list it

[@SusanSchuck-k4h]

This originally belonged to Strawbridge and Clothier. Then went to John Wanamaker after the bought out S&C. Hence in turn Wan amaker was bought by Macy’s it’s current owner.

@SusanSchuck-k4h what year did it first come out? And wasn't Lit Brothers involved in its history?

[@slytheringingerwitch]

Just curious, does it come out every Christmas? I would hope so, its so whimsical. An early Merry Christmas from Cornwall, South West England UK.

@slytheringingerwitch merry Christmas to you as well, Ms Gingerwitch! Yes this great department store display opens every year. It has moved to several different stores over the years but has been a Philadelphia Christmas tradition for over a half decade! I used to go as a child and still love it :) here is my video from a few years ago (I think it may be a bit better than this year's) just in case you need more :) Anyway thank you very much for the comments and I hope you have a very merry Christmas and a great and happy new year!
