Aritzia on the corner of Broadway and Spring St.

The holidays are quickly approaching as lights, trees and gifts begin to pop up in stores and homes everywhere. Comfort, Joy and Cheer are common staples of the holiday season, bringing smiles during good times with great people. However, for some, the holidays are a low point and everything opposite of the festive goodness that's supposed to fill the air. This week's windows present both the fun and the forlorn feelings of the season. Where do you fit in?
