Pete’s Tavern Window (Photo By Gail)
OMG, we made it to Christmas! I took the above photo this past winter standing on the sidewalk looking at the festive display window at Pete’s Tavern in Gramercy Park. I can’t think of any image cheerier than this to send greetings to all my readers. Have a peaceful and happy holiday, everyone. The best is yet to come.

It is at least somewhat of a relief to us snow-plagued New Yorkers to know that other parts of the country are also “enjoying” similarly crap weather this winter! Tragically, it appears that a couple of fed-up snowmen have resorted to impaling themselves on the Ellifritt Structure located at the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Wyoming. Because, seriously, enough with the snow already!
