When I decorate for Xmas I go all out and every room is done. I have a number of villages, i.e. Snow Village, Bedford Falls and now, one with all the significant locales of Ralphie's adventures including Higbee's Dept. Store and I am indeed reminded of Loveman's. I also have a couple of boxes...sweater, gloves, etc. that came from Loveman's and have their name in gold on them. They came from my grandmother's cedar chest. In a message dated 11/9/2007 7:36:33 A.M.

Yes, THE store windows to see at Christmas were at Loveman's and Pizitz! Especially on the corners.
