First it was weird Santas at Grand Central. Now it’s dancing elves at Union Square. Thanks to our readers we now know the weird Santas were promoting Augusten Burrough’s latest book, You Better Not Cry: Stories For Christmas.

Does anyone out there know the story behind the dancing elves? We’re guessing it’s not a promotional stunt for the book, The Elf of Union Square, written by Jan Carr.

The New York City holiday season is just getting started. Send in any hilarious pictures, videos, or NYC holiday stories and we’ll be sure to post them. Thanks!
