Already, I can feel the cash flying out my pockets this weekend, and I know I’m not alone. This store, on the cool side of Smith Street near Atlantic, could take care of many of your shopping needs, if you like to give pillows, hand-knitted items, and clothing that says Brooklyn on it.

Hamilton Parkway, you’ll have the disappointment of Christmas staring down at you. But as it’s the end of November, statistically there should be some uplifting holiday moments ahead of you this season. Here’s hoping.

Dyker Heights it ain’t, but sometimes you take what you can get. Santa is looking down on Frosty, enjoying his exalted position and the knowledge that weather, thaws, and rain will never bring him down. The snowman is happy and oblivious, for he’ll be back again someday.

Under the elevators and below street level, Santa’s set up shop at Atlantic Mall. Few know about this strange Brooklyn-style North Pole, where it’s so warm that Santa’s helpers and elves wear little clothing. Friendly Santa wanders around his workshop, wraps his arm around onlookers’ shoulders and says, “Go ahead, take a picture.”

Here’s the caption I came up with. I’m on the fence about it, har dee har. Please feel free to submit a suggestion of your own.
He may be diminutive, but don’t let that fool ya. The little Windsor Terrace Santa man is the one in charge, all the way.

I guess I always assumed that the big guy ate pizza. During breaks he shops at the Great Wall Supermarket next door, which some of you may remember as the Fortway movie theater.
