Are you feeling frazzled? 
Are throngs of shoppers getting to you enfin? 
Then do dash over to the corner of 57th street and 5th Avenue for a look at Van Cleef & Arpels divinely serene holiday windows. 
There are 5 windows featuring their Bals de Legende jewelry Collection 
The themes are: Black & White, Oriental, Proust, Venetian, and Winter Palace Ball. 
The icicle-leaden stage set (loaded with plenty of real ice/diamonds) is perhaps the 'Winter Palace Ball'? 
The stage curtains move. 
The silhouette figures move ever so gently. Is this Truman and Audrey at the black and white ball?
Clearly this is a Venetian stage set. 
even I figured that out. 
On each side of the stage royal boxes are filled with elegant silhouetted figures. 
A Russian count and his fair lady peut-etre? 
Ah, the curtain draws closed. A short video here of the windows if you can't make it to NYC.
I hope you're feeling serene NOW! Back to frazzled shopping you go
