Bittersweet

As excieted as East Villagers were to wake up to snow, all around us now are reminders that the holiday time is over.

Starting with Halloween, moving through Thanksgiving, Santa Con, and New Year's, the East Village holiday season is finally coming to a close with the discarding of the Christmas trees.

Behold, on First Avenue:

Snow-covered, discarded Christmas trees.

Maybe these two on East 3rd Street have bedbugs?

Bedbuggy discarded Christmas trees.

Even owners of artificial trees get into the act!

Discarded artificial Christmas tree.

But fear not, Spring is already on its way — even today, I saw my first robin!

It's the circle of life… in the East Village Today!
