Santa At the Firehouse

Everyone likes to decorate for the holidays. If your workplace is a historic firehouse trimmed out in red paint, it's easy to make the surroundings look festive by putting up a few lights. I've always admired the architectural details gracing the 1890s facade of Firehouse #14 in Manhattan's Flatiron District.  The tiny skiing Santa was a surprise that was barely noticed by most of the people hustling down the street, intent on their errands. I hope your holiday season has its share of unexpected whimsy and joy.
