Well, it seems Christmas has indeed come to Sunnyside. Or at least to the front of our apartment building. Our landlord is quite fond of getting "festive" for every holiday there is. There was a huge inflatable pumkin for Halloween. There was an Easter bunny extravaganza. And if memory serves, some sort of big valentines display as well. He seems to generally be a fan of large bright inflatable decorations. I'm more of a fan of gentle white lights on the tree and and maybe a lovely classy wreath on the door. Not Frank.
Lets push in for a close up shall we?
This is a Queens Christmas Carousel. It spins about. Very slowly. Much slower than Santa and his actual reindeer go in real life.
This is Christmas Ferris Wheel. I'm sensing a Coney Island Theme. I'm actually a bit concerned for the brown Christmas creature in the front there (can't tell from the picture if it's a reindeer or a bear) who looks like he may be about to fall out of his seat.
And here it is in all its twinkly, magical night time glory.
And just for the record, I did notice on my way out this morning that there are some of those white wire reindeer drinking from the mini fountain in the back courtyard, so we are covered on all sides of the building. Thank goodness.

well you know I always have mixed feelings about overdone decorations. They used to upset me, but now I feel like 'well, at least they tried to do SOMETHING.'
very sparkly at night. and poofy by day! I bet all the little chil'ren love it so much. Something about the ornamental cabbage in the mix does me in :)
Thanks for spreading the cheer of the season.

We have a rather high number of inflatable Christmas decorations on our street as well....none, however, that move. And of course our longhorn in the sky directly across the street. :)
