It may not be time to deck the halls just yet, but we're looking for your thoughts on Mary A. Wells' Silent Santa Sculpture before the snow starts falling. Does this calm Kris Kringle have your vote?

Zen and Santa? That sounds like an oxymoron to me. Why not have Buddha dressed like Santa Clause while we're at it.

I like Zen, spirituality, meditation, and I like Santa - just not together

Boo to skinny Santas!

I agree. This does not embody the spirit of Christmas for me. Fasting maybe. Yuletide, no. Sorry Mary Wells!

Zen ideals of simplicity and tranquility? This can best be achieved with less clutter in our lives! This is sweet, but where would you put it? Simplify.....

It doesn't look poorly made but I do not think mixing Santa with meditation works. Prefer they were separate.

Buddha and Santa? Ok, well, if you insist. The figurine does not seem to be well made, and the roughness of the texture bugs me.

Not what one thinks of when you think of Santa - just my opinion.

I think this Ssnta looks a bit creepy. He looks like he's huffing paint, not meditating. :(
