HAPPY HOLIDAYS…

Time for the annual Manhattan holiday windows viewing party.

As usual, Bergdorf Goodman knocks it out of the park. The windows are stunning.

Awash in more than seven million Swarovski crystals, Bergdorf’s 2015 holiday windows along Fifth Avenue celebrate Swarovski’s 120th anniversary.

The theme for the window spectacle is Brilliant Holiday.

The Crown Jewels boasts crystal bedecked suits of armor and life-size lions set in a red velvet lined jewel box.

In The Treasure Chest, a monumental sculpture of Neptune encrusted in Swarovski pearls presides over a pelagic fantasy so alluring that no mermaid would ever consider abandoning the deep.

The theme of the 78th annual holiday windows at Lord & Taylor’s Fifth Avenue flagship store is, A Few of Our Favorite Things.

The windows depict Gingerbread Kingdom, Holiday Countdown, Cuckoo Clock and Sweets Shop.

500,000 people walk by the 101-year-old Lord & Taylor building between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Bulgari and Tiffany dazzle on Fifth Avenue.

Van Cleef and Arpels spread brilliant joy.

Take a break from retail therapy and strap on your skates at Bryant Park…less crowded than Rockefeller Rink.
