i am not particularly enamored of the holiday season. not a scrooge, just not that into it. the parts i really love are the music and the decorations. naturally, i love store decorations. the windows in NY stores are tourist destinations. they honestly are - hoardes of tourists line up round the block to look at them. and i have to admit that they can be spectacular. i mentioned Bergdorf's a while back - but Saks is way up there on my list as well. the windows are gorgeous, as is the decor inside. it's beautiful and understated. all white lights, birch branches. it's ab fab darlings. to add to the fa-la-la of it all - they have quite the selection of toys and goodies for the kids. in the recent years, gift giving in the fam has been focused all on the kids. it's fun to buy things for kids - so this works fine for me. and a lot of these toys are creative (love that) and adorable (love that). and a select few - like this book, which i am giving to several wee lads and lassies this year, adds as a cherry on top, the fact that Saks donates money from each book purchased to St. Jude's Childrens Hospital. that is the holiday spirit in a nutshell for me.
