I'm glad that some retailers in surviving urban shopping districts still place value on window dressing, which has pretty much become a lost art.

Thanks for posting!

San Francisco's Union Square shopping district remains a holiday destination, and I presume Neiman Marcus still does up a tree in their Union Square store, formerly occupied by City of Paris, which did a fabulous tree in the store's rotunda every year.  Around 1980, City of Paris sadly closed after 130 years and NM did a ruthless demo of the building, which CoP had built and occupied since the late 19th century, but NM did retain the rotunda portion and continued the tree tradition, which San Franciscans had come to expect at that venue, but I doubt they follow anything remotely resembling the traditional process that City of Paris did.

I've attached a picture of the 1955 tree in the City of Paris rotunda, all four stories' worth of it.
