Back in the Borough: A Glorious Walk to the Dentist

December is absolutely the best time to be in New York City. (Well, to be fair, there’s no bad time to be here. Except maybe in the sweltering summer. Yes. I take that back. It absolutely stinks to be here in the summer.)

I digress. Sometimes, my friends, when you live in a city like New York, you get so distracted by all the fabulous holiday decorations walking to the dentist that it takes you an extra 1/2 hour to get there.

OOPS.

Ah well, what can you do. Here’s a bit of what I saw on my way to the dentist this morning.

^^ Lazy pigeons taking a nap on a pole. 

^^A note about the horse and buggies around Central Park: I don’t agree with them.
That’s a whole other story. They sure are pretty to look at, though.

^^A hint about NYC holiday decor: Don’t forget to look up!

^^See? Up! Pretttyyyy!

^^A festive wreath in my dentist’s office.

^^My, my. That otter sure is fancy!

^^This little starburst decoration is hard to see in the photo,
but they’re so pretty, lighting up the streets at night.

^^And oh my goodness it wouldn’t be the holidays without the
Bloomingdale’s window displays! [Ed note: Please ignore
the horribleness of these photos, as they were taken with my
iPhone and I was trying to be somewhat inconspicuous.]

^^I think Italy was my favorite 😉

^^How cute is this couple looking at the displays? You know
how I like to take photos of random, unsuspecting people …

^^The NYC display wasn’t half bad, either

^^Who could be grumpy — even if you are heading off to the dentist —
with an entire holiday tree display set up right outside
your subway station? Not me, that’s for sure!

Bis bald, friends! And may your trips to the dentist bring you as much joy as mine did today!
