Random holiday decorations

Midtown is a melange (big word!) of "holiday decorations" this time of year. We've got the obvious Christmas Decorations, the mixture of "Christmas" and "Hanukkah" decorations, such as my office which has huge wreaths in a Christmas motif then small trees decorated in blue and gold.

But then we get the buildings that don't want to offend anyone so they are more winter themed as opposed to holiday themed. On Park Ave, there is an animatronic candy shop complete with gingerbread cookies and striped aprons on the creepy little dolls.

The building next to me takes it to a whole new level though...creepy Madame Alexander-esqe dolls of every race and creed ice skating on frozen ponds, amidst the cotton ball snow drifts. What is the real kicker though is the smattering of gopher holes around each pond. Expecting a cute fuzzy animal to provide some cheer? Oh no. What you get is a creepy bearded man/mole type of thing that pops in and out of its hole. Hands down the most disturbing decorations I've seen in my years here. Pictures to follow....
