Holiday Trends & Gift Guide 2008

"This year I wanted to make you believe that there is a lot more magic than meets the eye in the simple things that surround us at Christmastime,” said Paul Olszewski, director of windows at Macy's Herald Square. "You'll see all these things in a new and magical way—making you look at everything differently and believe there is magic everywhere." The windows reveal a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Christmas magic. For example, magical orbs and dreams mix to become holiday ornaments, and holiday lights are made out of a dash of joy and hope.
