An oldie but goodie and one of our favorite putz creations from Howard Lamey--an outstanding double chimney house with porch--to the right. For more of Howard's outstanding littleglitterhouses.com

As we watched the last few minutes of the poor pitiful New Year's Eve broadcasts the other night, we were reminded how much we missed Guy Lombardo--and later Dick Clark in his heyday. Have to say this: we waited for the ball to drop with the sound turned OFF!

In any case, the overhead shots of Times Square--which we had to admit were quite stunning even in the rain--reminded us of this great up close and more personal vintage photo, no copyright restrictions, from 1948, and the Willem van de Poll archives. 

A great Times Square time capsule! The Claridge Hotel by the way, was torn down in the 70's. 

It's followed by an incredible gingerbread "mansion" complete with clock, from the 2014 Gaylord Hotel Christmas display. 

This architecture just cries out for putzy-fying AND a faux gingerbread house project.
