When I was a child the night I enjoyed most was the night our family of five went to downtown Indianapolis to see the animated scenes in the windows of the two large department stores, Blocks and Ayres. Each year was a different theme. I recall a Santa's workshop theme and a Currier and Ives theme. Every year I would work my way to the front of the crowd to peer at the moving figures.I loved checking out all the small details that made each scene tell the story.

We then walked to Monument Circle, the center of Indianapolis, to see the lights strung to the top of the Monument creating a huge Christmas tree. The areas that had fountains during the summer were filled with scenes of the Nativity with life size shepherds and wise men. All the while Christmas music playing in the background with the tinkle of the Salvation Army bell ringers bells at each street corner. A true Wonderland.

The trip home always included a stop at the malt shop across the street from Dady's. I always ordered a hot fudge sundae with two cherries. Betty Ann Seeman from Indianapolis, Indiana.
