While in her prime as the Queen of Technicolor, Irish actress Maureen O’Hara was in one of the greatest Christmas movies ever made.
It was when watching the 1994 remake of “Miracle on 34th Street” that I truly fell in love with the enormity that is the holiday season and Christmas in America and in New York, in particular.
Now lucky enough to work right alongside Macy’s where much of the action is set, the arrival of each Christmas reminds me of the joy as a young girl of flicking over the TV stations in December to discover a young girl just like me on the screen fighting for the right of Kris Kringle to be identified as Santa Claus.
