Christmas Critters

The people in the building next to us are cuckoo for those inflatable holiday lawn decorations. Last year, they had Santa on a Harley, which was amusing and whimsical. This year, they have a Papa polar bear and his cub.

I love polar bears, but anthropomorphized polar bears do tend to remind me of a certain cola beverage. (Thanks a lot, Coke.)

On the home front, I am working on spreading some holiday cheer throughout the condo. So far, we have two wreaths from Trader Joe's adorning the tv armoir. They have nuts on them for added flair, and so I perched my tiny stuffed squirrel on top. I couldn't resist.

This weekend, I plan to add more decorations, so I'll be raiding my Mom's Christmas closet for some decorative Schwetty balls. (Dear God, I love Alec Baldwin.)
