holiday windows

jackson pharmacy on 8th avenue, just south of 12th street, has their winter window display up. we love stopping to gaze at the scenes. there are ice skaters, flying santas in their sleighs, children sledding down a very curvy hill, carolers, trains, and a hot air balloon. i like it better this year because it's more of a village scene, not just moving gadgets. c and i always liked walking past indyke salon on 10th street each december. this week we made it a point to stop by and see if their windows were decorated. we found the salon empty! they've closed! so sad. we'll miss visiting their windows this holiday season.
