By Tuesday, all the snow had melted and I took Maddy for a nice long walk over to East River Park. All of the trees were ringed with wonderfully-fragrant Christmas tree mulch!
The Crackhouse's Tree, freshly cut, presumably from someone's lawn, adorned in all of its glory with soda cans, rubbers, a fern from someone's bio project that somebody else thought looked like dope, and a pentagram on top. This photograph was taken before the party started. Once the party got going, many others added their own creative decorations.
