About our Banner
The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

Now that is what I call a Christmas cartoon….lol
I like it!
My mom said it was offensive…my dad laughed out loud but said I’d gone too far…I thought the halo around the donkey’s ear was a nice touch.
For more cartoons by this artist from Germany: Cagle Post – Political Cartoons & Commentary – » Rainer Hachfeld
My thoughts: No way would Mary be interested in sex again so soon after birthing! She’ll whack Joseph in the nuts with her halo in the next frame.
You know Bill O’Reilly is going to be really, REALLY pissed by that.
Did ya’ll hear that in 2009 the Vatican spent $ 717,000 on their Nativity scene? This year’s Nativity scene was donated: http://news.msn.com/world/vatican-accepts-nativity-scene-donated-by-poor-region
Wishing everyone a peaceful, stress free & healthy holiday season & throughout the coming New Year. There’s a cute & funny video of choir boys singing Rossini here : http://owlhousecats.blogspot.com/2012/12/and-merry-christmas-to-you-all.html
Bill O and the rest of the fox crew would all be pissed, but in the same breath praise gun rights and free speech when it comes to something they approve of.
Merry Christmas Connie! love the xmas video…thanks!
Well, Mary and Joseph’s marriage was a bit complicated from the beginning. LOL.

The first lady is working with Norad today taking kids calls. They call up and ask where Santa is right now .. here’s a transcript for one.
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/kfjo24
MRS. OBAMA: Hello?
ANTHONY: Hello?
MRS. OBAMA: Hi, is Anthony there?
ANTHONY: Yeah.
MRS. OBAMA: Hi, Anthony, it’s Michelle Obama, the First Lady. How are you?
ANTHONY: Good.
MRS. OBAMA: How old are you, Anthony?
ANTHONY: Eleven.
MRS. OBAMA: You’re eleven? Where do you live?
ANTHONY: Texas.
MRS. OBAMA: Texas, nice. Well, have you been — are you calling to find out where Santa is right now?
ANTHONY: Yep.
MRS. OBAMA: Because I’m working with the people who track Santa by satellite, and I’m looking at the screen right now and they say that — it’s showing that he was last spotted in Italy — Venice, Italy. Can you imagine that? He’s all the way in Europe. And in about 20 seconds he’s going to be headed for Croatia. That’s another country in Europe. It’s one of the European countries. So it’s close to Italy and all that, but it’s still in Europe.
ANTHONY: Can you come visit me in Texas?
MRS. OBAMA: Yeah, he’s heading your way. He’s heading your way. But you know what, Santa doesn’t come until you’re fast asleep. You do know that, right?
ANTHONY: Yeah, I was talking about you trying to visit me.
MRS. OBAMA: Oh, me come to visit you. (Laughter.) Well, I don’t know if I’m going to be able to come and visit before Christmas tomorrow, but if ever I find myself in Texas next year — and I know I’m going to be coming to Texas one time next year — hopefully we can see each other then. How does that sound?
ANTHONY: Will you come to my house?
MRS. OBAMA: Yeah, I don’t know if I can come to your house. I might not be able to do that. But I’ll be keeping an eye on you, though.
ANTHONY: How about my school?
MRS. OBAMA: Your school — maybe your school. What school do you go to?
ANTHONY: (Inaudible).
MRS. OBAMA: All right, well, I’m going to tell my assistant right now. What part of Texas are you from?
ANTHONY: Fort Worth.
MRS. OBAMA: You’re at Fort Worth? I was in Fort Worth last year. So maybe we can come back. But until then, I want you to have a merry Christmas, okay Anthony?
ANTHONY: Okay.
MRS. OBAMA: All right, you give your family my best — what did you say, babe?
ANTHONY: Can I talk to your husband?
MRS. OBAMA: He’s not here right now. (Laughter.) But you know what, I will tell him that you asked about him. Okay?
ANTHONY: Okay.
MRS. OBAMA: All right. You keep being a good kid. Work hard in school, okay?
ANTHONY: Okay. Tell your daughters I said Merry Christmas.
MRS. OBAMA: I sure will. Thank you so much. You give your family my best, okay? You give them all a Merry Christmas from all of the Obamas, okay?
ANTHONY: Okay. Thank you.
MRS. OBAMA: All right, bye-bye.
ANTHONY: Bye-bye.
That’s so sweet.
She’s doing it from Hawaii … isn’t that a nice thing to do?
That was cute, and I bet she was thinking…11 and still believes in Santa? But that kid didn’t waste anytime though, he put the first lady through harder questions than some of the reporters out there do.
That was really sweet of her. Thanks for sharing that.
I hope that everyone has a delightful holiday.
NORAD Santa @NoradSanta
