A Minnesota Christmas

It was nice to see an article on cnn.com today about Minneapolis and the holidays. I got nostalgic for the Minnesota and wanted to look out my office window and see the Winter Carnival Ice Castle that I remember so fondly from childhood.

The only thing that irked me about the article was this:

"You can watch the parade from the glass-enclosed skyways that crisscross the Twin Cities' downtowns at second-floor level. It's so warm inside that you can walk sleeveless to restaurants and shops, none of which is more crowded that the Minneapolis Macy's on Nicollet Mall. Thousands of children stand in line for hours every holiday season to watch the animated holiday display at the downtown Macy's, which this year tells Mary Poppins' story."

Macy's??!!?? This from a writer who claims to be a person who "call(s) the area home." Maybe they call Minneapolis home now, but me thinks they are not a native Minnesotan. I would have given the writer a pass if they referred to it as Marshall Fields, but to all true Minnesotans, it will always be the Dayton's holiday display.
