Losing Ourselves In Holiday Windows

image credit Library of Congress

Holiday window displays have used nostalgia to sell products for over 150 years. If you're lucky enough to live in a city with an old-fashioned department store, you might get a glimpse of their fantastic holiday displays, packed full of animated elves and artfully piled gifts. But in most places, such scenes are extinct, remaining only in childhood memories.
