PHOTO COLLECTION: The iconic and unconventional sides of Christmas in New York

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — The challenge of photographing Christmastime in New York is that there is so much of it. This is the iconic New York tourists come to see. Over several weeks, Associated Press photographer Julia Nikhinson found ways to document both the familiar and unfamiliar sides of the holiday season in the city. She found storybook images, like neighborhood carolers and an urban garden ablaze with light, while also capturing the city’s weirder side, including a holiday-themed burlesque show, a guy who roams the city impersonating a Christmas tree and an invasion of hard-drinking Santas. And she photographed some of the ways a New York Christmas is different, like carrying a tree home under your arm after work because you don’t own a car.
