Christmas in Center City Date My parents and I decided to visit Center City Philadelphia at Christmas. The main reason for going was to see the light show at Lord & Taylor. It dates back decades to when the store was Wanamakers. It's a real Philadelphia tradition. We also went to Reading Terminal Market for lunch. It's another Philadelphia institution. Nothing puts you in the Christmas spirit then Christmas visit to the city.
