NYC 2008 Holiday Window Displays*

The Christmas window displays created by the major department stores is another NYC holiday staple. Every year the the six major department stores (Bloomingdales, Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks, Lord & Taylor and Macy's) choose a theme to decorate their holiday windows.


The various themes chosen by the department stores are as follows:

• Bloomingdales: Inspired by the film version of "The Phantom of the Opera".
• Barney's: These Barney's windows have been titled: "Peace & Love. Have a Hippie Holiday."
  
• Bergdorf Goodman: I wasn't able to find this theme. I'll hopefully update if I find it.
  
• Saks: I wasn't able to find the title, but it is very wymsical.
  
• Lord & Taylor: The L&T windows have been titled "Christmas is the Moment"and explores a few of the many things that people enjoy during the holidays.
• Macy's: The Macy's windows were created to give "a behind-the-scenes look at the magical ways the elements of Christmas such as snow, stars, tinsel and ornaments are created."

And don't worry, there is also something at the windows for those of you who came to NYC for the fashion.

Make a day out of it and walk from Bloomingdales to Macy's, making stops at Barneys, Bergdorf, Saks, and Lord & Taylor on your way.
