Goodbye, Christmas!
Dayton’s Santabear, 1985
The sale of the century
by James Neagbour
A Minneapolis holiday tradition was ended this year. After 54 years of Christmas shows in the eighth floor auditorium at the Downtown Dayton’s/Field’s/Macy’s, the store closed its doors.

For 115 years a retail store operated at the corner of Nicollet Avenue and 7th Street, prime real estate in downtown Statuary and urns from past flowe shows also found new homes at Macy’s closing sale.
Minneapolis. Dayton’s occupied the spot for 99 years, then Marshall Field’s for five years, and finally Macy’s for 11 years. During this long retail run, there were Christmas-themed decorated windows, sales displays, and Several characters from the 1995 Wind in the Willows show were quickly snapped up, including Mr. Mole (left) and Mr. Badger (above).

The Old Times
Several figu es from the Dayton’s Harry Potter show in 2000 were available for sale including Professors Dumbledore, Snape, and Quirrell. The Minnesota Historical Society chose a Professor Snape to add to their collection. Others were grabbed up by Harry Potter enthusiasts.
There were even a few remnants of the traditional Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus for sale. A set of four-foot-tall wisemen were searching for a new home.

memories. For some it was the Dickens London Towne of 1966, which was a costly show coming in at about $250,000 in 1966, and featured 20 buildings and 150 figures. Some people have fond
memories of the Christmas-related shows, including The Nutcracker, A Christmas Carol, How the Grinch Stole

Christmas, or Santabear’s First Christmas. For others the shows featuring childhood stories such as Cinderella, Peter Pan, Snow White, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, or Hansel and Gretel were their most memorable. But no matter which show was their favorite, people seem to agree
that the shows were not just entertaining but magical, and contributed greatly to their holiday fun. Retail store items such as shopping bags and gift boxes have always been available for collectors at antiques shops and flea markets, but Macy’s closing sale opened up the rare possibility for dealers, collectors, and anyone who wanted a souvenir of Dayton’s/
Mall of St. Paul Alice in Wonderland was the theme for the Bachman’s 1999 Flower Show at Dayton’s. The gardens were filled with characters wearing costumes designed by Jack Edwards, former head costume designer for the Guthrie. Alice was sold, along with characters and memorabilia from all of the eighth floo wonderlands that have fascinated Minnesotans for decades.

Field’s/Macy’s--or, if they were lucky, a piece of their favorite auditorium Christmas show. Customers at the sale bought every single figure and prop brought out and marked for sale. If you missed this sale of the century, start watching the secondary market; I am guessing many of the items sold off at Macy’s will soon be available at antiques shops and flea markets
around your area. James Neagbour’s knowledge of Christmas Past has made him a popular speaker whose hosts have included The Walker Art Center, The Landmark Center, KARE-TV, and the Women’s Club of Minneapolis. It has also made him a favorite contributor to the December issue of the Old Times.

means? It won’t be long before Santa Claus is comin’ to town! So get those chestnuts roasting on that open fire, and let it snow, let it snow, let it snow-because over the river and through the woods, it’s beginning to look at lot like Christmas!
HOLIDAY E OPEN HOUS DEC 1-3
And now, with that mashup of seasonal songs careening about in your brain, the time is right for a look at that most tuneful of Yuletide traditions: the Christmas album! Christmas albums first emerged in the 1940s with 78 rpm
collections from such radio favorites as Fibber McGee and Molly (their rendition of “The Night Before Christmas” featured vocals by the King’s Men, and “Molly”— Marian Jordan—as little-girl narrator “Teeny”).

by Joan Sween It was the first few days of December and business was slow in the mall. Every year the cycle was pretty much the same. For the first part of the month, people would come in in solitary visits, hoping to sell last year’s holiday finery in order to make enough money
to buy this year’s holiday fashions. Those not selling would be out in the retail stores, looking for “exactly the right present” for Uncle Fred and Aunt Helen. Come about the 15th, people would realize they had only 10 shopping days left, and the right thing had yet to make an appearance.

on Hallow-even, the first of November.” “Uh-hmm. “Do you have the whole collection with you?” asked Bernie. “May I see Samh’im?” “Certainly,” said the Norsky giant, lifting a life-like figure from his box. It was quite detailed. A red tunic came down to its knees. A long grey beard and long flowing hair descended to its waist. Over the tunic was an ermine cape with an attached hood. On its feet were soft suede boots laced as high as the knee. A leafy crown of mistletoe surrounded its head. In its left hand he carried a short golden staff surmounted by a sky blue orb and topped with a crown-like figure shaped like Stonehenge. In its right hand was a long, gnarled staff topped with a razorsharp crescent moon. A gold braided belt
circled the tunic, from which depended a thong with a calling horn. That’s quite detailed, I muttered to myself. “Gorgeous!” breathed Bernie. “Druids are reputed to be the first manifestations of the Nicolas saints,” said Helga’s salesman. As the other eleven 30-inch Santa figures came out of the boxes, I had to admit they were something special, from the rough Germanic Saint Nicholas to the velvetclad, sleigh-riding, listmaking jolly old elf of today’s fame. “How much are they?” asked Bernie. “Three hundred each,” he said. “That’s a lot of money,” she said, catching her breath. “Still, they’re nationallyknown Helga Sigurdsdotters and worth a lot.” Was she nuts? “I’ll take them,” she said.
