we went Downtown with our folks and saw the May Department store windows with displays that were totally wonderful wonderlands...


I'd forgotten about that. When I was a tyke, we'd take the trolley to downtown LA to see the department store windows during Xmas season - back when, that's where you went to go shopping.

Our moms would get dressed up in a suit or nice dress, sometimes a hat, heels, girdles, and stockings to go shopping. For that matter, they wore dresses around the house - never jeans or slacks.

Summertime, they would wear shorts or peddle pushers, but mostly they wore a house dress.

The hills scared us because the cars were all stick shift and my mom would drift backward changing from the brake to the clutch. Very stressful for a 6 YO and I remember it.

Downtown Denver was a favorite for my brother and me as well. We lived outside of town and it was an adventure to go "downtown". Christmas in the downtown area was as good as the gifts under the tree in those days. They still decorate the Civic Center building for the season and that will happen about Thanksgiving time, once again.
