Christmas Eve

Yesterday the four of us took the bus down town to Macy's. We walked through Dicken's Village and then stood in line for Santa. Dave and Lilia had gone ahead and when Lilia saw Santa, she got scared. Luckily we didn't have to stand in the long line to find that out. Then we watched the light show in Macy's. Lilia loved it.

We took a taxi over to the Comcast Building to watch a 15 minute Holiday video. In the foyer is this giant HD video wall where the picture is the most incredible thing I've ever seen. Here's a caption from their website...

"This realistic imagery offers 10 million pixels of clarity — five times the resolution of hi-definition TV — supplemented with computer-generated images of amazingly realistic quality, producing a vivid virtual world."

We took the "L" home. We promised Lilia a lolipop so we stopped in this tiny grocery store near our house. When I put a bag on dumdums on the counter the guy said, "That's it? She can just have it." It was an early Christmas present!

The day totally felt like we were back in Asia...all the modes of transportation, exploring the city and free stuff for LIlia.
