This post is for those whose Christmas memories include an annual trek to Downtown Crossing Boston to view the Jordan Marsh (now Macy's) Christmas display The Enchanted Village. A series of Victorian era Christmas vignettes. Jordan's Furniture (no relation to JM) recently purchased and refurbished the displays. They are available for viewing in all their past splendor at the JF Avon store complete with snow which is periodically switched on to the delight of small, wide-eyed children. I recently visited JF and enjoyed the retooled displays. They are very nicely done and it was heartwarming to see the kids running in awe from display to display and their excitement when it started "snowing". If you decide to go, try to visit at an off time. The entrance reminded me of a Disney wait line (about 8 chain lined switchbacks) and visitors must walk through the ENTIRE store upon exiting. If you can get by the obvious commercial and holiday hype, it is a fun walk down memory lane.

sorry I couldn't have made the trip with you, Mary. It does bring back great memories of Mom trekking us down to Jordan Marsh to see this.
