I felt like a child again. Whlist in New York I went to visit Macy's Santa. You may think that at 34 I was too old but believe me I was not the eldest to visit, on the Staurday that I paid my call. The Grotto is unlike anything we see today in England.

Mrs Claus and a giant bear greeted you as you approached the grotto; a steam train and carriages. The elves encourage you in and as you pass through the carriages which appear to be moving, as a film of countryside and the snow scenes are shown, creating the illusion of movement. Eventually, you walk out of the train into a fantasy world of candy canes, sweets and snow. The elves guide you around the grotto and would you belive it, you can take photos and they will even take your photo for you. It brings back many happy childhood memories.

Eventually you reach Santa's house. There are about six houses, set in a snowy land scape. You are guided into a house to meet Santa. He asks you what you would like for Christmas and even sits you on his lap! (Yes even at 34) You then have your photo taken with Santa, and this can be purchased but it is not necessary.

How much does it cost to see Santa? Nothing, and anyone can go. I feel this is one of the best department in Macy's and on return to England,I had to watch Mircle on 34th Street as a reminder of my trip to Santa.

I'm glad you said that because my little girl is 12 and still wants to belive in the magic of Santa. Her bubble has partially burst knowing reality but still she wants to belive. I hope for her christmas can be as magical when she's 34. Merry Christmas
