O Christmas Tree

Thy leaves are so unchanging. The first known “Tannenbaum,” or Christmas tree, song lyrics date back to 1550. Above is the Metropolitan Museum’s beautiful tree and its famous nativity scene. Next on my list is the Rockefeller Center tree, which I can’t wait to see all lit up.

I got the Christmas tree spirit myself this weekend, at the annual NYC Santacon. Taken by the tree at South Street Seaport.

Electronic Pop Up Book Extraordinaire

Amazing, right? I’ve been mulling over making pop up books as Christmas presents. Then I came across this on Art:21 Blog. I’m not quite up to snuff yet, but if I can get my boyfriend to figure out the wiring thing, maybe. There’s a wealth of pop up books on Youtube, should you feel similarly inclined to do present research this morning.
