Holiday Décor

Have you ever wondered about Thanksgiving décor? I am wondering about it right now myself. Not because I have any, thank god, but because my neighbors’ apartment door now has a bunch of corn, what we used to call “Indian Corn” tied in a little bouquet and somehow (duct tape? Crazy Glue?) attached to it, just below the peephole.  

There’s something about this that really bothers me. Maybe in the country, where there are real farms growing real corn (Indian or otherwise), this tradition makes sense, but in the heart of New York City it seems out of place. Likewise with pilgrim hats or turkey feathers.  

Most of us wouldn’t recognize a feathered turkey if we ate one.  

Okay, that’s it for my holiday spirit. Sorry if I’m a spoil sport, but the turkeys I like best are the chocolate ones.
