GUEST DIARY• BY: KAREN KLOPP AND HILARY DICK

Miracle on Madison is back with its 34th annual marvelous and magic shopping day on Saturday, December 5th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is THE DAY to fill your holiday gift list as 20% of the day’s sales (up to $15,000 per store) will benefit the pediatric initiatives of The Society of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Hilary and I gleefully took part in the Miracle on Madison social media campaign shoot last week, which gave us a taste of what is in store (and in the stores) for this best of holiday season. We popped into a number of bountiful boutiques and it felt like a winter wonderland. We are grateful that so many have managed to remain in place and have survived the worst of the shutdowns.
