As a kid and now as a Mom, one of my favorite memories has been heading downtown Minneapolis for the Macy’s Santa Land. Going up the escalator until you reach the magic level, or so I thought when I was younger. Actually it is the 8th floor, but it really seemed like the magic floor when I was younger. Passing through several departments and then waiting in line. The smell of fresh gingerbread greeting us as we made our way to the scene. “A Day in the Life of an Elf,” is great for all ages, plus there is no admission to walk through it. Check out the schedule here.
