But it actually is beginning to look a lot like Christmas outside Bloomingdale\u2019s, Bergdorf\u2019s, Saks and Macy\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe holiday windows and light show are our annual gift to New York City,\u201d Emily Essner, chief marketing officer at Saks, told The Post. Saks\u2019 particularly sumptuous windows depict a variety of Yuletide celebrations, from the tride and true (a little girl getting an autograph after \u201cThe Nutcracker\u201d) to the more timely (a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>ly distanced gathering at a food truck).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year, we felt it was more important than ever to uphold this long-standing tradition,\u201d added Essner. And to \u201cdeliver fun and escapism this holiday season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some stores tailored their <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>s in response to the pandemic. The windows at Macy\u2019s pay tribute to NYC\u2019s essential workers, with neon signs flashing \u201cthank you\u201d in 16 different languages.<\/p>\n<p>Bergdorf Goodman, however, had started planning its designs back in January, with a focus on giving back. The resulting theme, \u201cBergdorf Goodness,\u201d features dazzling stained-glass windows with words like joy, peace, equality and hope in big mirrored block letters. \u201cLittle did we realize just how important [that message] would become,\u201d said Linda Fargo, senior vice president of the fashion office and store presentation at Bergdorf\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Executing such lavish displays \u2014 while following social-distancing guidelines \u2014 also proved a challenge. \u201cMost years we have beehives of artisans at work creating elaborate and collaborative handmade objects,\u201d said Fargo.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, planning and visualization meetings took place via Zoom, and factories and artisans delivered samples to individual homes to review. \u201cThis was definitely an adjustment for teams that are used to touching and feeling materials and in-person production visits,\u201d said Saks\u2019 Essner.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomingdales\u2019 John Klimkowski, meanwhile, said that the windows gave the store a chance to hire local artisans who had lost work to help build their whimsical scent-enhanced displays, from a Christmas tree made of green stuffed teddy bears (which has a pine scent piped outdoors) to a giant candy-cane-s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>ed tongue (a peppermint scent) to a gigantic orange glitter dog. (That one, thankfully, doesn\u2019t have a smell.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe looked to costume designers from Broadway who aren\u2019t working <span style=\"color: #000000\">right<\/span> now, or local artists who [have been] displaced due to COVID,\u201d said Klimkowski, VP of visual merchandising and windows. Plus, the surrealist, gleeful props helped lift the workers\u2019 moods. \u201cThey bring a smile to everyone,\u201d Klimkowski said.<\/p>\n<p>And after a tough year, New Yorkers really do need to smile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re a national company, but our [59th Street] flagship really is a neighborhood store,\u201d said Klimkowski. \u201cWhen I was walking home last night, I turned around and the store just became a beacon on the avenue, with the cheerful color and the vibrant lights. It felt like there was hope.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Macys\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Macy\u2019s<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><!--If the slideshow is embedded in another post type add the inline wrapper --><\/p>\n<p>Macy\u2019s theme this year \u2014 Give, Love, Believe \u2014 pays tribute to the first responders, essential workers and marchers who showed \u201cgrit, good humor and hopeful spirit during a tumultuous year.\u201d Lights spell out \u201cthank you\u201d in multiple languages over an iconic New York skyline \u2014 complete with fireworks \u2014 and Macy\u2019s elves drape words of gratitude over a cityscape featuring clapping hands.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bergdorfs\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Bergdorf\u2019s<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><!--If the slideshow is embedded in another post type add the inline wrapper --><\/p>\n<p>Bergdorf Goodman celebrates \u201cthe goodness that is all around us\u201d with each kaleidoscopic window featuring gigantic block letters spelling out different \u201cvalues,\u201d such as love, hope, harmony, joy, peace, equality, kindness and unity.
