A few years ago, I pondered the phrase "perversion of Christmas" when it entered my mind. The more I thought about it, the clearer the picture became in my mind: the antithesis of everything good in Christmas. I felt it had to be drawn, if for no reason than to pass what is the mental/artistic equivalent of a kidney stone (and... put... said... kidneystone... on... display.)

My message with this image is simple: your Christmas should be the opposite of this, as much as you can make such a thing. Be grateful for your gifts. Mind your table manners. Put down your phones and talk to your family politely. Think of the less fortunate. Don't shun Christmas traditions. Don't let your guard down as far as government is concerned.

... and wipe your feet when you go inside. That's not related to Christmas, but still.
