Joyful Christmakwanzukkahtime 23

Here is an impeccable, beautifully inclusive,
painfully researched, politically correct verse.
I hereby defy your meticulous fact checkers to
find a winter holiday that hasn’t been
thoughtfully, respectfully included.
-

Dreydl, dreydl dreydl
We made it out of clay.
On Christmakwanzukkah, my friends
For peace on earth, we pray.

So, black and proud,
Lift every voice
from temple, mosque, and steeple
All the colors Celebrate
the Op**te of the People!

For Diasporic Africans
For Spiritists and Sikhs,
Holidays and Holy Days
Prevail the coming weeks.

Shinto, Cao Dai,
Tenrikyo,
Muslim, Buddhist, Jew
Reindeer, Elf or Protestant
Juche, Jain, Hindu

Evangelists and Atheists
Pious Jesus Freaks
Hellenic Polytheists
(a.k.a. the Ancient Greeks)

Agnostics and Heritics
Pagans, Wickans too
In Hebrew, Hindi, Arabic
I’m talkin’ to you!

Lutheran, or arsonist?
Stockholm’s brilliant prayer,
Saint Lucia's all lit up,
Real Candles in her hair.

Bronx and Brooklyn, Bogotá,
Queens and Island Staten,
Moscow, Cuzco, Beijing, Nome,
Up and downtown Manhattan…

Korea, Spain,
The Philippines,
East Timor and Peru,
Venezuela, Portugal,
Águeda to Vizeu

Some Cantons in Switzerland,
Catholics can agree,
Virgin Mary has her Day,
Proclaims The Holy See

Andorra, Chile, Austria,
Uru- and Paru-guay
Popes and Pontiffs wouldn’t
have it any other way.

Nicaragua consecrates
- and this without exception-
‪December 8th, The Feast of The ‬‬‬‬
Immaculate Conception.

Diwali, an Autumnal treat
Like mithai, sweet and light
For five full days shall
Brightness reign
And fireworks light the night

Ramadan
though in the Spring,
Let us please include
But- no pictures!
That would be
Positively rude.

Three Kings Day,
Omisoka,
Yule, Mawlid al-Nabi
Our Lady of Guadalupe
Juárez, and Abu Dhabi!

Zartosht no-diso is the date
Zoroastrians remember,
The Khorshed of the month of Dae
on 26th December.

Sviata Vechera
and of course,
Epiphany,
Let’s Toast! Let’s Feast!
Come Deck the Halls!
Joy to the World! Whoopee!

Divinity School candidates
The Ivy league rejoices
Yale and Harvard
students have
a plethora of choices

SummaCumLaude ministers,
Deacons, vicars, preachers!
Or will all your graduates
end up as Yoga teachers?

Festivus, its feats of strength,
Its grievances we cherish.
George Costanza, Frank, Estelle…
Observe it lest ye perish!

Bangladeshi, Lebanese
….Even if you’re British
North Korean, Swazi, Lao
Please Pray for me…in Yiddish.

Hanukkah and Bodhi Day,
Chinese New Year, Christmas
Ashura! Yalda!
Hallelu-
jah for…whatever this is.

Arise ye Multi Billionaires
Now's your time to Shine.
Secular's spectacular,
These Presents are Divine!

Saturnalians ridicule
Sacred Glorification.
(We notice, though,
they don’t refuse
a paid Christmas Vacation.)

Liberty admonishes
“Bring to us your poor.”
Strangers will be welcome friends
In 2024

So Come, Let us Adore Him!
Human beings gather.
…Or maybe not-
Feel free, my friends,
to abstain, if you’d rather.

for what it’s worth (not much) this expresses my feelings: “What Hamas did was horrific, and there’s no justification for it,” former President Barack Obama said on Friday. “And what is also true is that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable.”

Max Beckmann: The Formative Years, 1915-1925 at Neue Galerie - NYC-ARTS A look at Neue Galerie's exhibition, "Max Beckmann: The Formative Years, 1915-1925." Profoundly affected by World War I, it focuses on the 10 years when Beckmann's style moved away from his Impressionistic origins to the style of the Neue Sachlichkeit -or New Objectivity- that defined his later work...

A young Tove Jansson as depicted by her mother, illustrator Signe Hammarsten Jansson. Tove modelled for both her mother and her father, who was a sculptor.

In some cases, mother and daughter also worked together on commissions from publishers or magazines, and Tove eventually took over her mother’s work as the main illustrator for the satirical magazine Garm.

my 1990 bag is here (thank you!) but i must say there has been an omission in this stellar collection. my 1981 was the earliest, most fun, wildest, weirdest of all- i am still proud of it. unfortunately my name was removed from the bag during printing by president marvin traub- he said "she's not famous enough." i remember doing about 10 overlays with photostats and film positives. it was my first big job- i was 25. i should never have worked alone, but if i'd have joined a normal design studio this stuff never could have happened. #1981 see www.rosenworld.com for more

the closest i got to having a sister: cristina. https://spotify.link/BRr5Ed7w7Cb thinking of her.
