Lord and Taylor Live Feed Christmas Window Unveiling

One of the most time honored and fun traditions is  seeing  city store's Christmas windows. New York does  them big and everyone wants to get a glimpse. If you're not in NYC though, like many of us,  now you can see the unveiling of Lord and Taylors ( often thought to be the best of the department store windows)  on a live feed. I've got my calendar marked. And just think- no crowds.
 
It all happens tomorrow Nov. 15th between 5:30 and 6PM  at www.lordandtaylor.com/share , the first time ever this has been done.

There will  be performances by Kristen Chenowith and the Young People’s Chorus of New York City

"The theme  this year  is “Share the Joy.” This spring, Lord &Taylor asked customers, friends and family to share their favorite holiday memories and traditions via Facebook and  letters. Inspired by these submissions, the four Fifth Avenue windows will come to life with 12 Christmas scenes set in New York City over the past 50 years. Scenes will include: trimming a tree, holiday party, picking out a tree, taking a family photo, White Christmas, child’s first bike, a big family celebration, Christmas baking, a holiday party overflowing onto a fire escape, Santa’s Christmas, waiting for Santa and watching holiday tv specials. The customer and story that inspired each mechanical window scene will be displayed in the window for viewers to see."
