We didn’t make it downtown for the Macy’s parade, but we did manage to hit Manhattan on Black Friday to see the window displays. Macy’s definitely had the best, but they were all pretty good. You can check out the pictures here.
We walked all over downtown, and I even got my roasted chestnuts that I love. While we were checking out the windows at Bloomingdale’s, a man behind us asked us a question.
Him: You ever watch HGTV?
Us: Sure.
Him: Would you like to be on TV?
Us: Yeah, that would be great.
Him: We’re making a show about holiday windows, and we’d like you to just talk a little about what you see here.
Us: Okay, that sounds easy.
Then he gave us some microphones and started filming us. I don’t think we even realized what we were saying at the time because we couldn’t believe what we were doing. One second you’re enjoying Christmas decorations, and the next some dude has a camera and you’re waxing poetic about the artistry of Bloomingdale’s holiday windows. We moved from window to window, and then he finally turned the camera directly on us and started asking us questions. At the end we signed releases and then we were on our way. He said he’d even send us a copy of the show.
So if you’re watching HGTV on Sunday, December 3rd at 9pm, check out a show called Holiday Windows 2006. Who knows if we’ll even make it on the show, but it was fun while it lasted.

[…] So did anyone catch us on the Holidays Windows show on HGTV? I know our friends Steve and Tanya saw us, and we received phone calls from our parents almost immediately after the show. We certainly were the hit of the show – all 2 seconds of us. I especially liked the poorly edited “That’s really cool.” thrown in by Monica. […]
