Surviving Christmas

 

Christmas cheer, not here;

children break for holidays…

Christmas booze more like.

*Not really – pretty excited about it all. Just wanted to have some fun with words.

Christmas card list

I have reached the age

where there are fewer Christmas 

cards sent or received.

The Christmas tree is dead, long-live the Christmas tree.

 

Trees of Christmas past

bannish the chill invasion

and with their heat, rule.

123. North Street, Standard (1)

This seasonal piece by Cheo is quite a contrast from its political predecessor that adorned this wall during Upfest 2015. I am constantly excited by the range of subjects and styles that the street art scene is capable of producing in Bristol.

This is a cheerful and fun cartoonesque piece so typical of Cheo who must be one of Bristol’s most prolific artists. I will try to dig out the piece that was on this same wall before. Watch this space.

Big dog, little dog

 

All togged up for a

cheesy picture; step aside

for the underdog.

Sweet ghost of Christmas past

 

Irresistable;

knock down advent calendar

with marzipan treats.

Holiday tip trip (or more correctly, recycling centre)

 

Unloved posessions

and accumulated junk;

a Christmas chuck-out.

Christmas Cards

 

Put pen to paper;

compose salutations for

family and friends.

‘Tis the season to be jolly

 

You know times are hard

when you see Father Christmas

sell The Big Issue.

Mistletoe

 

Autumn’s nakedness

unveils a seasonal boon

for Christmas kisses.
