At this time of year, the Nelson-Atkins receives holiday greeting cards from companies, vendors and friends. Every year, my favorite card comes from the same firm and this year was not a disappointment.

It may be hard to see, but the scene is an aerial view of the Alaskan wilderness. Santa and some reindeer are running after the sleigh which has been hijacked by a few select members of the team. A helicopter hovers above with a bubble that reads "Happy Holidays everyone...I'm back! Bang! Bang!"
The caption reads: "With Sarah Palin's return to Alaska, the state's cloven-hoofed residents seek safe haven elsewhere..."
One of the escaping reindeer says "You think this is bad...I hear Damien Hirst is coming to town next week!"
