Philly Christmas Tradition

Although the store has changed hands a couple of times in recent years, this will always be the "John Wanamaker" Christmas Light Show. Thinking back on how many generations of families have packed the grand court since 1956 to enjoy the show seems somewhat strange and surreal in light of all the social distancing we have to do now because of COVID-19. But, I am hopeful that some of life's simple pleasures, such as this light show, will return one day. It is my understanding it can be viewed virtually, but nothing compares to being there in person... and, the beauty of all those lights is something you never outgrow. I also remember when the dancing water fountains were included in the show!
