With the theme "What is Christmas Made Of?" Lord & Taylor asked children from Women In Need shelters and local schools to draw what they believe Christmas is made of. The mechanical holiday windows were inspired by their art and feature 125 of the original drawings.

Kathie Lee Gifford, co-host on NBC's Today show, helped the retailer unveil the windows. Gifford sang with the Young People's Chorus and then made an in-store appearance to meet customers and sign copies of her new book The Three Gifts and Angel Blocks ornament, both exclusive to Lord & Taylor and created in collaboration with award-winning Creative Director and Illustrator Michael Storrings.

Prior to the unveiling, the Young People's Chorus of NYCperformed "What is Christmas Made Of" a holiday song composed exclusively for Lord & Taylor. Simultaneously, Lord & Taylor stores throughout the chain hosted local student choral groups to perform the special song.
