In NYC Blue is for Recycling - Even the homeless on the Upper West Side are politically correct.

Unique Christmas tree

Recycled NYC garbage makes great Christmas Tree Ornaments

Who knew how pretty jar covers and cool whip lids look as Christmas Tree Ornaments?

The Upper West Side Methodist Church offers Homeless a Home and more. The Church has operated a pantry for more than 30 years and a woman's shelter for more than 20 years. Many of it's congregants started out sleeping on the Church steps.

Today the Landmark building is also shared by Congregation B'Nai Jeshurun and West Park Presbyterian Church.

Ya gotta just love the creativity, Mitchell.  But I'm really fond of your photo of the Church of St. Paul and St. Andrew.

Isn't this how our parents or grandparents used to decorate ... with what they already had??  Finding beauty in something they made with their own creativity.  They didn't rely on always buying something .. they couldn't.  Maybe this latest downturn has made us re-discover our own creativity and re-adjust our thinking??  Great photos, as always Mitchell!

Have a wonderful and beautiful Holiday Season, my friend ...

Gene

Hi Bud and beth, Thank you! happy Holidays

Malinda, I love it too. The tree is unique. Thanks for stopping by. Happy Holidays!

Alexandra, Thank you. I love to share the sights of NY. Happy Holidays to you and Ron and your family.

Myrl. Thanks. It is an awesome church. I've taken many shots from different angles and vantage points. It is difficult to get the whole Church in one shot because it takes up the whole corner and each side looks different.

Gene, Thank you. When I was growing up we made everything home made. My parents were really creative. The best things in life are free and not found in stores. Wishing you and your family a wonderful hoiday season too and a prosperous 2012.
