3. Actually my grandma used to have a wooden village under the tree.
It was well hand crafted though not that cheap stuff in the pick. Besides with a 135 dollard do you know how many lottery tickets i can get with that kind of bread.

22. no, "hand crafted"
that means he made the original by hand, which was then made into a mold and copied by machine.

9. Let me get this straight...
They started at the top of a freaking tree and had to walk round and round and when they got to the bottom she had the baby? That was some kinda humongous tree! Or they were very, very tiny squirrel-like people.

What a piece of trash. That guy is schmaltz on a stick.

Silent Night
Holy Night
This friggin' tree
Is a butt-ugly sight

Thomas Kinkade should be strung up on it
'Cuz his artwork is consistently shit

25. "Follow the story of Jesus's birth step-by-step... "
If it starts with a tiny bottle of wine and some incense and follows up with a little porcelain Mary and Joseph gettin' it on, I might consider it...

30. I beg and dare to differ with you all.


I think Thomas Kinkade is an excellent painter.

It sounds to me like you don't care for his subject matter.

That doesn't make him a bad painter.

31. His style is gaudy and tacky and vomit-inducing.
Yes, he is a very, very bad painter.

So bad, it hurts.

32. Such a well reasoned critique.


You know, back when I was working on my undergraduate degree in fine art, if my classmates or I saw a work of art by a well known, successful artist, and we couldn't really appreciate it... we would pretty much presume that the problem was our lack of education rather than the well known, successful artist's lack of talent.
