Origami is FUN!

Like when you make 32 disco Santas to put into snack bags for the student workers in the department.
(Unfortunately, you only see the disco effect on a few of the Santas in the back row. I was too close to the front one to get a sparkly shot.)



Perhaps I'll try to make another one and see if I can get a disco shot. I'll try the flash on the camera, though that will probably just wash him out.

For awhile I fought the idea of Santa. Saw him as just ramped up commercialism; a strange bedfellow of the "Christian" holiday.

I just went off on the most boring and self-rightous rant. WOW. Not even with an interesting story about how folding 32 origami santas left me with some strange folding injury.

Here's the point. I like Santa. Not because he's a figure of Christmas, but because he is simply the spirit and symbol of giving. And that is accessible to anyone.

Wow, that right stunk as far as a piece of writing goes.
