The holiday season is here once again!! All the stores along 5th Avenue and Soho are dressed up for the holidays, with their display window mannequins all decked out in holiday clothing and gear. Whether its a snow yeti or nutcracker figurines or white-winged angels, the holiday store displays all signal one thing: it’s the holidays!! I love going window shopping especially this time of year, because all the windows are so pretty and intricate.

Although one might not think of store window displays as art, that quality is highlighted for the holiday season. This year, Saks Fifth Avenue has a series of iconic windows featuring their mascot, the Saks Yeti. Each window depicts a scene from the Saks Yeti’s life, from his humble beginnings as an unappreciated snowmaker in Siberia to his starring role as a true snowflake artist in New York. The heartwarming story is coupled with a daily 3D light show projected onto the side of the Saks building on Fifth Avenue. Using 3D projection through 6 projectors, the light show is truly a sight to behold. The light show and the Saks Yeti “exhibit” will be on view all through the holiday season.

I highly recommend you guys to check it out, especially if you are looking forward to getting into the holiday spirit! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🙂

Here’s the light show spectacular: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8vwrz4fZJw&list=UU_97RTgW61rYhBo46f1PsuA#t=99
