Patrick Dougherty builds amazing structures from tree samplings, and I hope to one day live inside (or at least beside) one of them.

Santa Baby....

Probably the closest representation of the holiday spirit (or at the very least in geographical proximity), Santa's Ghetto has set up shop on Manger Street in Bethlehem across from the Church of Nativity. Combining the great passions of my life: street art, politics, and holiday spectacle; some of today's most influential and recognizable graffito's create a thing of beauty out of the divisionary wall (reminiscent of the art created on the Berlin Wall). Proceeds of all sales are going to projects for local children and youth, and Santa assures those ready to dole out a few shekles for a good cause, that "not one cent will go to any political groups, governmental institutions or, in fact, any grown-ups at all."
