Today concluded the NYC getaway and we had to include some holiday essentials before we left. This morning we ventured out to Bryant Park to observe the ice skaters and many other holiday goodies. It was darling there this afternoon. A little on the crowded side, but manageable. Then we were on a serious mission to find Santa and get our picture taken with him. The source of our mission was Macy's in Harold Square. Santaland is located on the eighth floor so we trekked ourselves up there. Once we arrived there was a line of no joke 1000 people. The majority consisting of children under the age of four. Talk about overwhelming. So after standing on line with quite the mix of people for over an hour, we reached Santa. It was all a little anticlimactic but hilarious none the less. We arrived in Santa's area and found ourselves sitting next to a guy who was our age in a Santa suite. He enjoyed the two of us sitting next to him a bit too much and held on a little too tightly. After awkwardly asking the two of us what we wished for him to bring us this year, which I politely asked for a source of employment when I receive my bachelors degree, his little elf helper snapped a few photos with her fancy camera. We thought holding hands would be just a lovely little portrait but as you can see our hand holding was rather inappropriately placed near the Santa impostor's south pole. Yet no one decided to tell us because he was enjoying it more than he should have. When we found our way out of the overly-decorated holiday cave we were greeted by another elf, this one with a computer, to show us our portrait. We actually died when we saw this and couldn't resist purchasing a 6x8 and a sheet of wallets. It was the icing on the cake of our city adventure and it is oh so classy. As I sit on the Trailways bus back upstate, thanks for the free WiFi by the way, I can't help but smile at the site of two young women in their twenties posed with Santa in an extremely awkward and slightly inappropriate manner. I told you, hilarious. Happy holidays followers!!
