Sadly over in my neighborhood in the East village things were not looking so bright.

"Beheaded and shoved on the floor, with some stupid Santa norse warrior hat next to a mug and a pencil, the humiliation of it. I should get a movie out of this , I used to be tall and handsome, now I am just a head. Did you ever see such cruelty?" The poor Norse Head cried.

"Nope, only just at Halloween, when they chopped off a man's head for jumping the line and put it right where you are now. That wasn't you , was it? " I asked him.

"Sure as hell was me and now look at me, from bad to worse. At least I get a small income now as they recognize I am a crowd puller all right, way better looking than those whining elves you were chatting to on 23rd Street, and I for sure do have something to whine about."

"I must say you are very brave , I promise to wave at you every time I walk by." I said hurrying away from this depressing Norse Head.
