These amiable creatures, representing characters from Alice in Wonderland and The Nutcracker, come from a midtown shop called The Gazebo, where you could have quilts made to order.

One year, we even gave them their own small tree.

We’re much too low-key to do anything like that now.

Meanwhile, at the movies:
