      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 NYC performed "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.
