North Dallas is home to some of the most luxurious shopping in the world and two of the largest shopping malls in the state: North Park Center and  Galleria Dallas.

The Galleria Dallas opened its doors at the Dallas North Tollway and 635 in 1982.  North Park, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year,  was built in 1965 on what was then the very northern edge of Dallas on Northwest Highway.

The holiday  season is about three weeks away and both shopping centers have big plans on tap.  On "Black Friday," North Park will be welcoming Santa back from the North Pole and the Galleria will host its Macy's Grand Tree Lighting Celebration.

Galleria Dallas General Manager Angie Freed talks about the events and special performances planned for Christmas.

New York-based artist Leo Villarreal's outdoor light sculpture Buckyball 2015 was unveiled this week in CenterPark Garden,  becoming NorthPark's latest permanent installation.

Leo Villarreal talks about his work and the other world famous artists whose sculptures and paintings are on display at  North Park Center.
