When I was little I used to love to see the neighborhood Alpha Beta grocery store where the homeless hung out, transformed into a winter wonderland at Christmas time. It was so compelling that I would forget that it was really 78 degrees outside and the smell of chestnuts roasting on an open fire was actually cow poop, because the dairy 2 miles away.
The transformation consisted of a little window paint and imagination. I remembered thinking that being a holiday window painter would be the perfect job: you get to work outside, you can put your walkman on and listen to the newest Janet Jackson tape, and paint fat Santas until your heart’s content.
I’ve never actually tried to paint window displays, so I fired up my paint application on my computer, and gave it a go:
I think I might need a little more work refining my skill.
We did paper silhouettes for Halloween on our windows a few years ago, and they turned out awesome. I love decorating the windows for any holiday!

I used to want to me a garbage man/woman when I was little so I could hang off the back of the truck. I am glad my childhood dreams did not come true.
