Merry Christmas, EVERYone!

Keith Haring drew this nativity on the walls of the New York subway in the early 80s, when that was the only place he could have his art seen in a public venue. When space for advertising was left unsold, the transit authority put up black construction paper over the unsold media placement areas, and Keith used chalk to proliferate his artistic vision. He was arrested for his "abuse" of public space more than once, but, "Good for him," I say. His artwork has survived despite the bureaucracy that sought to silence it.
If you do not observe Christmas as a religious holiday, my wish is that you're able to enjoy the spirit that it is based upon. Love your fellow (hu)man, and treat them as you would have them treat you. It's a simple task, and if we all accomplish it, the coming century will be a better one whether all of our computers crash or not.
Pa rum-pa-pum-pum,
