New York’s Christmas Streets

Although he’s a ubiquitous figure from mid-November until December 26th, little’s known of the daily existence of Santa Claus, who brings toys to good children every Christmas Eve by dragging his bulk, accompanied by sacks full of trinkets, down chimneys, even in homes that have no chimneys. We know that his mode of transport will please environmentalists as no oil had to be fracked out of the earth’s mantle to power his chosen mode of transport; instead, he employs eight, sometimes nine, reindeer, beasts found in northern Scandinavia.
