Holiday In New York- Lord and Taylor Christmas Windows 2011

Retail Remedy: There’s nothing that says  holiday shopping more than the launch of Christmas windows

Of all the department holiday windows in New York, Lord & Taylor is a perennial favorite as one of the most classic and heartwarming. This year’s theme being “What is Christmas Made Of?”  The store asked children from Women In Need shelters and local schools to draw what they believe Christmas is made of. The mechanical holiday windows were inspired by their art and feature 125 of the original drawings.

One  of my favorite snippets from the store’s window, pictured right,  is “Holiday is for Everyone, ” featuring a rather chic woman in a red jacket trimming the tree with a Chanukah menorah near by.

Kathie Lee Gifford, co-host on NBC’s Today show, helped Lord & Taylor unveil the windows last night along with the Young People’s Chorus.
