The Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center was illuminated by more than 50,000 multicolored lights on Wednesday, kicking off a Midtown Manhattan holiday tradition that dates back to the 1930s.

This year, the window displays at Saks Fifth Ave explored Christian Dior’s first visit to the United States and New York, in 1947, a trip that ignited his fascination with the city.

The collaboration was the first time that Saks had partnered with a luxury fashion house for its holiday display.

In the displays, with the theme of “Dior’s Carousel of Dreams at Saks,” miniature figurines of Mr. Dior, who died in 1957, were placed in various scenes of the windows along Fifth Avenue.

On behalf of the NSC board, I would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year in 2024.

Enjoy the pics..
