I'm sorry, I don't actually know the specific details of Higbee's Department Store Christmas story. You might want to check local historical archives or old newspapers.
One horror story could be getting locked in a department store overnight. I heard of a case where an employee accidentally got locked in the store after closing. All the lights were off, and it was pitch - dark. They were terrified of the strange noises and the thought of being alone with all those mannequins. Another story is about encountering strange, aggressive customers. There was a time when a customer became extremely angry over a small discount issue and started shouting and even threatening the staff.
Maybe it was Macy's. It's a well-known department store that often features in Christmas tales. But it really depends on the specific context of the story you're referring to.
Sorry, I don't have the exact answer. But you could try looking it up on dedicated movie forums or websites where fans might have discussed this detail.
Well, a department store in a Christmas story usually has a very festive atmosphere. The store windows are beautifully decorated with scenes from Christmas tales, like Santa Claus delivering presents or reindeer flying. There's often a long line of children waiting to meet Santa who is set up in a special area of the store. Also, the store plays cheerful Christmas music all the time which adds to the merry mood. It's a place where families go to get into the Christmas spirit and buy all the things they need for their Christmas celebrations.
