And just like that, the holidays are here.

Well this didn't take long.

As mentioned last week Christmas lights were spotted on Park Avenue, but now that Thanksgiving is officially over it's as if FAO Schwartz threw up all over midtown. Consider this the official kick-off of the Trying to Outdo the Neighbors coverage.



Much like many of the corporate behemoths that call Park Avenue home, my building's managing company does a major league job of decorating the place. Wreaths, menorahs, trees, the whole nine. But in an effort to be greener this holiday season the outdoor lights adorning the patio's barren trees are now LED. I don't know - is the blue tinted light that thees babies give off really worth it? Does it make much of a difference when the ozone depleting classic lights are used inside?

Meh.
