In America’s well-ingrained romantic conception of Christmas, certain ingredients have long been essential: strolling carolers, festive shoppers, colorful lights, roasted chestnuts and, of course, elaborate, animated store-window displays.

To experience that last item in reality, Denverites lately have had to travel to New York City, Chicago and a handful of other cities with department stores willing to invest in such big-budget offerings.

But this year is different.

Through a cooperative venture between Cherry Creek North and the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Englewood, Denver has its own top-level holiday store window for the first time in at least a couple of decades. And it’s generating a buzz locally and nationally.    Click here for the full story
