It's December!

 

It's 

DECEMBER!

Happy 1st of December

to you all, 

only 24 days until CHRISTMAS!!!!

Time for Christmas caroling, 

the smell of pine trees, Christmas lights, Santa and his reindeer,
fake snow, earmuffs, hot cocoa, Ice Skating, Cuddle Buddy's

and for Baby Jesus to be born!

Let the Holiday Cheer begin!

Ho Ho

Ho!

Something about this time of the year that makes me anxious and gets me excited. It might be the anticipation of a New Year or the warm, cozy feelings that Christmas brings of sitting by a fireplace and spending time with those you love. I don't know what it is but its meant to be a jolly good old time. I don't have a lot planned for the holidays, just staying put at home with my family. Instead I wish I could be part of Art Basel in Miami going on this week, the most prestigious and biggest art show of the Americas with over 2,000 artist participating. I also would like to spend Christmas somewhere tropical for a change. I've always had a dream of spending my birthday or Christmas in Australia or Hawaii, since at least in Australia when it is their summer it's our winter. Santa Claus on a Surf board? I'm down! Will have to plan for that for next year.

And just a friendly reminder no matter what always be:

Here is a glimpse I found from VernissageTV of some of the exhibitions happening right now at Miami Art Basel. The video includes some of my favorite artists like Takashi Murakami, the large Panda-like Bear towards the end of the video. Also one of my favorite photographers, Andreas Gursky is there, whose "Rhein II" is the world's most expensive photograph which sold for $4.3 million recently at an auction. Wowzahs! Take a look for yourself.
