Vicki Khuzami was asked by Bloomingdale's to help create their famous Christmas Windows in 2008. Vicki worked closely with Head of Windows, Harry Medina, and Joseph Cotugno to design and produce the 2008 windows. She was determined to find the best figurative artists working in New York City in order to have the same artistic quality of the illustrators who worked back in the 1950's. She wanted this to be a treat for babyboomers who had long lost the innocence and spirit of their Christmas childhoods. Thankfully, these 1950's Vintage Christmas themed displays brought back the spirit of Christmas to many holiday weary New Yorkers. The displays currently have a new home thanks to Mrs. Christmas, herself, Sibyl McCormac Groff of www.nychristmas.com , who introduced me to Jim Morrison creator of The National Christmas Center in Paradise, PA. He has created an incredible museum which wonderfully described in this article in Martha Stuart Online Magazine. Jim Morrison has displayed the hand painted scenes at Elizabeth Farms, the largest Christmas tree farm on the east coast. Jim took over a large barn on the land, where his ever growing collection continues to grow.
