Nelson-Atkins Holidays
The holiday season is usually pretty hectic around here. Staffers completing last-minute projects before vacation, the Museum Store packed with holiday shoppers, budding artists attending Holiday Giftmaking classes and the galleries full of visitors seeking places of quiet reflection in the midst of seasonal madness (and wanting a reprieve from relatives, no doubt).
In the spirit of giving, here are some images of how we decoratively express our holiday joy!

Eddie Hankins, Maintenance, on his tricked-out floor cleaner.

The tree, stockings and family photo ornaments make the Maintenance Office a cheerful place to visit.

Being Fabrications, it only makes sense that this stocking is constructed from wood and styrofoam.
This gorgeously decorated tree in the Museum Store persuaded me to buy a Shuttlecock ornament in honor of my goddaughter's first Christmas.

This jolly fellow adorns my desk. I hope he's taking notes; I've been very good this year.
Happy holidays!
