Cheeky in Blue: It's the most wonderful time of the year...almost!

I know, I know...WTH where be the post'n of the Cheeky? I'm SO very slow motion LLLAAAMMMEEE!!!!! Guess what though? I just got back from NYC, my favorite place in the whole wide world next to the beach of course, and it was beautiful! We saw no lingering signs of Sandy in the city, although I know many people in Statin Island, Coney Island, New Jersey, Connecticut and surrounding areas are struggling immensely. It was the most gorgeous weekend with just enough cold to make it feel festive. There are signs of Christmas starting to spring up around the city...

That's Bergdorf Goodman with the Plaza on the right...

They were just starting to decorate the inside, but sadly I did not take pics. I actually tried once, and they asked me, well, to not thank you very much! But they were doing white snow covered branches over every arch with twinkling white lights, and huge trees made of the same branches in beautiful planters. They looked like a much grander version of these trees which are in Mckinney at a store called Gray Living, and while beautiful, not nearly as spectacular as Bergdorf's! I may have to try and replicate this at home, because the large one here, which is not large at all people, was 300 bones. I may or may not attempt said crafty branch tree project because A. I'm kind of cheap, it's 300 bones for branches! B. We are talking massive branch hunting in my coyote covered area like I'm Pa Ingalls running around with Jack in Minna-SODA. And C. My ability to convince Big D that this is a worthy project for him to actually take on so I don't go spend 300 bones...
