It's Christmas time in NYC

LIAM IN HIS OWN WINDOW DISPLAY, NOT LORD AND TAYLOR'S

How many people are in Manhattan during the Holiday season?  A lot.  The trains are packed; the streets sometimes require standing in place and waiting to move.  Then there are breaks and a side street is just lovely and quiet. 
Those journeying to the city from the outer-boroughs and suburbs call Manhattan Island "the city."  Going there during the Christmas season takes energy and patience.  Liam cannot ride on the LIRR, as he is not a pocketbook dog. 

TOO BIG FOR A TOTE

If you can fit your dog in your bag, he/she rides for free.  At least until someone tells on you and that would not be in the Holiday spirit. I told Liam of the decorated windows in the Manhattan department stores and he was excited to do his own display by sitting in our window.

OUR DISPLAY

There were no lines to view him and after a while he got tired of holding his head up for the crowds that were not coming, but he had fun watching the outside wildlife. 

GUESS ONLY IN MANHATTAN

Liam decided to wait for my stories.

ARE THERE DOGS IN "THE CITY?"

My stories are told by some photos

and by a song. This is the time of year my name is often used as verb- caroling http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/carol

The following video has some joyful caroling going on with the Boss and the E Street band- Clarence doing the heartiest Ho, ho, ho
You will be smiling all through. I am thinking "joyful caroling" is redundant, that all caroling is joyful, right?

Happy and Healthy Holidays (all of them) 

Woof, Woof
