How dogs love the snow!

It puts a spring in their step.

So much important stuff being carried up on the escalator at Penn  Station.

And downtown at World Trade Center Subway. Everyone bundled against the cold.

Dallas Barbeque has a red Christmas tree and windows that reflect far too much stuff. As in New York in general, everything's happening all at once.

Quite enough to do already this time of year............

Time to get out all the funny bits and pieces that live in boxes during the year.

The Santa with the little pink cellulose face and cardboard legs.

The musicians made in Japan some time in the dim past.

A petit chameau from Morocco.
