The Excess of Christmas

Ages and ages I was looking through the internet when I saw something like this about the Declaration of Independance of the USA and they had taken the main headings and did something like this and made up a word. Cant remember what it stated but it was quite derogatory but I thought it was a good idea. It was put to the back of the mind so when Christmas was finished and I had fed the family group of 17 I thought would it not be simplier if we all did our celebrations in a simplier form but still keep that family feel good factor.

This drawing is a result of this feeling that I have. I know some of the shadows are wrong but I was trying to achieve a slightly more realistic effect. Any more words that you can think up that I could use would be very helpful as I don't think this is the correct one but it does get the message across, well in my opinion.

Excellent commentary both Albaore and Egg.

It would be better to do some good with all that we spend but it keeps others employed who need the holiday spending.
