I'm usually no big fan of holiday displays, having worked in a window display shop until my sanity could handle it no more (about eight weeks). However, the other day, while braving the crowds to buy some veggies at Whole Foods, I was stopped in my tracks by these:

These giant star-shaped lights are hanging from the ceiling inside the "Shops at Columbus Circle". They pulsate, glitter, change color, and practically made me wet myself with Christmas wonder. This picture doesn't do them justice. Big props to whomever created these wonderful, if corporate, ornaments.
