In case you didn't have a chance to swing by Houston and Elizabeth Streets last night to see Banksy's bumper car Grim Reaper bring some holiday cheer to lower Manhattan, fret not! The skeletal Blue Oyster Cult aficionado will be at the spot from dusk until midnight tonight and tomorrow night. Check out a fantastic video below of last night's event, via Matt Adams:

And not to get all fatalistic or anything, but life is fleeting and we only have five more days of surprise Banksy projects left. It's been a hell of a fun month, and we probably won't get another citywide art scavenger hunt like this anytime soon, so let's all soak in our last days with ol' Bankster.
