of people, and it has for decades.

light show is back in November. Expect thousands of lights
dancing to holiday music and six elaborate window displays under
this year's theme, Your Story and Lights.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
I can only imagine because when I grew up in Chicago,
we would go downtown and it was awesome around Christmas time.
All the window displays, so I'm sure New York really brings,
but you know, all the moving things in the window,
and it was like every single store had a thing
going on.

Christmas time. Yeah, like around the holidays and just see it.
