Glittery Snowflake
In New York City, where Fifth Avenue and 57th Street intersect, there a sparkly chandelier hangs:
It's the UNICEF snowflake. I think this is my favorite of all the holiday decorations on Fifth Avenue. It's attractive and bright. But it isn't about the commercial lure of the season that this famous shopping avenue promises.
It's a reminder of all the children of the world that UNICEF aims to help: to stop these children from dying from preventable causes. Because really, all children deserve to experience many, many Christmases.

Light and Magic
Three weeks ago, we started our holiday tour of New York City at Macy's. I guess it's quite fitting to end here. Let me share its store windows on 34th and Broadway:
A night is full of DREAMS, little one. Reach up! Take one. The meaning of Christmas is revealed on this magical night.
A crystalline land, behind sleeping eyes, with one lovely rule above all: SHARING is the greatest gift.
In this realm, wonder produces every shade of JOY. Happiness. Bliss. Elation. Delight. Do you see it too?
BEAUTY elevates all things. But what is real? What is a dream? What does it matter at this time of year?
Christmas waves its MAGIC wand over a secret landscape, and all is mysteriously transformed.
What we BELIEVE is what is possible.
Sharing and giving, joy, beauty and magic -- these make Christmas dreams come true.

Holidays on Ice
Let's step into a magical world. Yes, it exists! It's on 5th Avenue, in a department store called Bergdorf Goodman. They have the most elaborate holiday window displays and I'm so excited to share these pictures:
A peek inside the store. Look at those light fixtures. Don't they look like strands upon strands of diamonds?

This year's theme is "Holidays on Ice" or those special days of the year literally touched with frost. Any Snow Queen would have a ball!
