The sheep are back (and with their Santa hats)! The woolly flock—missing for the past couple of years—has been a favorite SoHo fixture during past holiday seasons, grazing in the windows of the design store Moss. (Like the other one-of-a-kind pieces at Moss, the sheep serve as art, decoration and furniture—you can use them as a stool.) Though it might seem that everything in the museum-like Moss costs in the four-figure range and up, the store does have some hilarious designer tchotchkes, including Gone But Not Forgotten Finger Puppets (ornaments for the tree, perhaps?). The set of six hand-crocheted figures (Yves Saint Laurent, Charlton Heston, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Heath Ledger, Jesse Helms and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn) costs $75.
