The poem begins: You can’t sleep
the fifth avenue, I saw the Saks Fifth Avenue windows provide more elements for Christmas time. This year the window’s theme is “The Winter Palace”. However, I cannot see the same Christmas elements in other store’s windows such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Fendi.
