CBC host and reporter Robyn Burns asked if I had been to Macy's department store.
I had not and I took her question as a challenge: brave the iconic institution less than 48 hours before the big day.
I walked in at 10 pm (the store was open to midnight) on December 23. The aisles were active but foot traffic was
brisk.
I went to the 8th floor to see about a photo with Santa.
A disheveled elf said Santa's workshop was closed but to comeback tomorrow.
A bleary-eyed parent still in line shot me a look as if to say, "Don't do it!"
I took a quick meander through the toy department.
I wanted to yell, "If it's 40 % off today think what it will be 3 days from now!"
Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

Kirsten - You would be the ideal lighthouse in the surf but there will not be a next time. Not unless it is early December for a photo with Santa :)

Robyn - I'm so happy you went for it. Perhaps not what Christmas 'should' be all about, but an experience none-the-less. If I'd been there, you wouldn't have even noticed the brisk walkers. I'm a great body guard -- being so tall, people walk way around me. I'm like a lighthouse in the surf. Merry Christmas and much love in 2015
