Christmas in New York
On the higher east aspect of Midtown Manhattan, at the corner of Fifth Avenue and East fiftieth Street, sits one of the global's maximum iconic department stores, Sak's Fifth Avenue.
Despite the reality that Sak's has grown into a department store chain, their 1924 building across the street from Rockefeller Center stays their flagship.
Christmas is a large deal in New York, manifestly. Every year Sak's rises to the occasion and rolls out a show that integrates their historic facade.
Last year, their night time display broke new ground in projected animation with their story of "The Snowflake and the Bubble." I remember standing on the West Side of Fifth Avenue on a Friday night in mid-December last year and being blown away.
I figured that they had spent a lot money on that animation that they'd use it for more than one years.
Clearly, I underestimated Sak's. Two weeks in the past they rolled out "The Snowflake and the Bubble: The Sequel."
I don't think I'm going to make it up there earlier than the show ends on January 6th, 2012 but this new animation makes me want to drop what I'm doing and just get on an aircraft.
