You know it’s Christmastime in NYC when Rockefeller Center lights its tree, Macy’s reveals its holiday windows, and Sarah Jessica Parker is photographed whimsically scoping out Christmas trees in the West Village. INF Daily spotted her admiring a luscious Douglas Fir alongside seven-year-old James Wilkie.

Alas, in perfectly dramatic Christmas tragedy form, they didn’t pick up a tree today, and James looked a little bummed out. And that super tall Christmas tree elf was doing all she could to lure them in. We didn’t believe those ears were real for a moment ma’am.
