Holiday 13 at Anthropologie, and past innovation at Urban Outfitter's Holiday 2010.

We delight in dressing our store windows each and every season, but there’s something about our holiday window displays that gives us an extra-special thrill. This year’s windows are some of our most festive yet: corrugated cardboard takes the shape of jaw-droppingly oversized poinsettia petals and larger-than-life stained glass panes. While the inspiration is heartwarmingly traditional, the execution is out-of-this-world ingenious. All images and text from Anthroplogie's blog.

While Urban Outfitters calls their "O Christmas Tree" lookbook a preview for Holiday 2010, we expected a catalog filled with glossy pictures of knick-knacks and sweaters, and instead were surprised by the apparent absence of product-filled pages. Photographed in Minnesota by photographer Alec Soth, the book highlights 20 photographs of 'Christmas' trees in places like church parking lots, funeral homes, and lakes—gently styled with accessories from Urban Outfitter's apartment goods. We don't know about you, but this compilation is more tabletop coffee book than throw-away catalog. Love!- Images and text from Refinery29.
