Silly Santas with a 2012 send-off

Happy New Year!
I know in some parts of the world, it is already a New Year!

'The Journey Begins' partial of painting by
Scott Gustafson,
one of my favorite painters!

I thought perhaps we all needed some silliness to end the old year,
and start off the New Year with a big bang smile!!
:0)
