Nothing complex here. Just the story of the wonderful NYC Christmas windows, we New Yorker's treasure, and how they've changed over the years. A picture book for adults- and the kid in those adults

They are all gone. What is left are a few stores with technology worse than we were children. The store that started it all on 5th Avenue, the Lord & Taylor flagship store, will soon be torn down. Such a shame.
