XXXmas!

It's Christmastime! Christian symbolism syncretized with ancient pagan rituals. Yay! I hope you had a good Christmas*. I hope you dragged a dying tree corpse into your house and gussied it up like a whore. I hope you spent lots of money. I hope you ate too much. I did.
I'm kind of celebrating Xmas in phases this year. Phase one was on Christmas day and it involved a lot of food and booze. Phase two is in a couple day and it will involve family and sublimated rage.
Anyway. We've all see Christmas porn. It's pretty popular** and it's all pretty classy.


Here at Xenopornography, we eschew such cliché decorations. Let's be truly classy. On the theme of feasting, let's look at some Art.


These are paintings from the website of this woman, Monica Cook, who makes, in general, some
interesting

art.

But, like, they're pretty good paintings, right? Who says figurative painting is dead?

 It's just a little bit creepier. That's all.
What a nice family get-together.

Aww. Look she's even brought her sweet little melon baby. Isn't he cute?

Oh. Never mind.
 ART! Merry Christmahanukwanzaakkah, all!

*Alternatively, I hope you are currently having a Happy Hanukkah.
**There's even a song about some slut who wants Santa to slide down her chimney.
***Those first two images come from Japan, a nation which may not fully understand what Christmas is.
