The end of the year is the best and worst time to visit New York. The cold weather, the bustling crowd, but the strong Christmas and New Year atmosphere in New York, other cities can not be surpassed. The Christmas tree in front of Rockefeller Center is already lit, not to mention that there are new year events like "Big Apple Countdown" as a city symbol.
Equally lingering is the Christmas window on Fifth Avenue.

Festive windows in the Christmas and New Year seasons often become the stage for major department stores.New Yorkers have become accustomed to admiring the holiday windows in front of major department stores during the holiday season. The rise of flat glass during the Industrial Revolution at the end of the 19th century allowed businesses to design exterior walls as interesting transparent spaces to attract customers. This is the origin of the word "Window Shopping".Such a tradition certainly originated in the fashion capital of New York. In 1874, RH Macy, the founder of Macy’s, had a whim. On Christmas that year, he collected various ceramic dolls from all over the world and arranged the windows of Macy’s as the novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The scene here, since then, has achieved this century-old tradition.
