It's Christmas Eve in the City

Well, ring-a-ling, it's Christmas Eve again.
Spend Christmas in New York, that magical city, with millions of others.
There's so much to see and so many ways to spend your money. And so darn many people.
To feel the real deal, spend a few minutes on the corner of 34th Street and 7th Avenue. The bells of the Salvation Army Santas ring louder than the sirens of impatient emergency vehicle. But we're all impatient, aren't we?
Try crossing that crowded intersection, especially from the northeast corner to the northwest corner. The people move in a lattice pattern with an enforced speed limit of a zombie-walk. But there are no rules of the road here in the wild, wild northeast; no alternate merge. The aggressive ones overpower the weak and the out-of-towners. Here, the best defense is a double-wide stroller.
What's not to love? Merry Christmas, everyone!
Get home safe, or at least in one piece.
