My Christmas Angel.

Christmas or Christmas Day is a holiday observed generally on December 25 to commemorate the birth of Jesus, the central figure of Christianity. The date is not known to be the actual birthday of Jesus, and may have initially been chosen to correspond with either the day exactly nine months after some early Christians believed Jesus had been conceived, the date of the winter solstice on the ancient Roman calendar, or one of various ancient winter festivals. Christmas is central to the Christmas and holiday season, and in Christianity marks the beginning of the larger season of Christmastide, which lasts twelve days.   -Wikipedia

I decided to post this just in case we forgot Christmas in America.  It seems each year the actual word disappears a little more and we become more afraid to say Merry Christmas in our very own country.

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas!

Just had to mention a miracle that happened to me on the day after thanksgiving when the city makes its biggest load of cash off of the backs of hard working Americans from parking tickets.  This one sanitation worker had already written up the summons and pasted the neon green insult to injury sticker.  My wife and I approached him and just kindly expressed how disgraceful we thought it was of the city to do such a thing, without hesitation he requested the ticket, shook my hand and said, “  Usually people come up to me cursing and screaming but you both approached me peacefully, Happy Thanksgiving”.  He ripped up the ticket and went off.

“A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.”    Proverbs 15:1

Thank you for making our day.

Scoliosis (from Greek: skoliōsis meaning from skolios, “crooked”)^[1] is a medical condition in which a person’s spine is curved from side to side.

When I first found out that my wife had scoliosis I began to do some research, I had never heard of scoliosis up until then.   In my research I began to make drawings that described what I thought it felt like based on the descriptions I read. The drawings above are just a few from a series I made.

Again at the Bronx Botanical Gardens.  I really enjoy my trips to the gardens.  It’s a place where you can leave the rumbling of the city behind, at least for a moment.
