Great article, @Joey, and terrific reporting!  I doubt that you were creepy at all.  If I had been there, I would have talked to you for sure...

I've never been to Bryant Park for the Christmas boutiques but your post made me want to hop on the train and visit.  And when I do, I'll also make a detour to the shops at Grand Central and maybe even head south to Union Square where the moods are similarly festive.

November 26th, the Saturday after Black Friday was Small Business Saturday when we were encouraged to "shop small."  I think it's a great idea and I suspect that the spirit of supporting these small booths and pop-ups of larger companies has a lot to do with fostering the holiday spirit we're all searching for this season.

Good article.  It is nice to hear that there are still places where there is some Christmas Spirit and not just Christmas Sales.

I'm tired of shopping, tired of crowds and tired of spending my money on things no one seems to appreciate.

If we make holiday shopping part of the season -- and lose the stress, the aggression and the attempt to turn the experience into a competitive sport -- I think we'll all be better off, both emotionally and economically.

It seems that your experience shows that there still is holiday spirit and all is not gloom and doom. The early sales figures show that the battered consumer has saved money and is intent on having a good holiday season- in spite of the doomsday crowd. Nice piece.
