I'm a very Christmas-y person. I love the holidays, caroling, decorating the trees and holiday gatherings with friends and family. One of my favorite things to do in NYC is walk through the city, visit department store windows, visit Rockefeller Center and perhaps Central Park or Bryant Park for ice skating.

Imagine my surprise when in the Saks window I see a fat woman being compared to a bear!

For 2009 the Saks windows, a holiday tradition… Continue
