So many Santas, so little time

Let me just say, for the LIFE OF ME, I cannot find the one childhood pic I have of me and Santa. I know that as soon as I post, this I'm going to find it. It's in the house, but my photo albums are all in boxes because of the renos we're doing. Pffft! Annnyway, when I find it, I'll post it. 

Meanwhile, I realized that I have quite a few photos involving Santa and/or animals and/or me!

Last year of course we had Charlotte the chicken with Santa...

Same again this year. The professional version is waiting for me to pick it up at the OSPCA! I'll post that when I get it, too.

I can't for the life of me remember when or why I Photoshopped this, or whether or not it's already on my blog...

Back when we lived in British Columbia, we took our English Setter Tara to another "pet pics with Santa"  fundraiser for our local shelter....

 2004... I think. I also think Santa is missing a "y" chromosome!

We also volunteered as a "Big Couple" for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and had our photo taken with Santa at the holiday party in 2005....

I think Santa looks TOTALLY HAMMERED.

And in 2007, the years we adopted Alex from the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry OSPCA, I took him back to get his photo taken with Santa. Except he was so freaked out, I had to get a death grip on him to make sure he didn't crawl up Santa's face to the ceiling...

Meanwhile, it's December 10th and have I sent out my Christmas/holiday cards yet? No. Have I designed them yet? No. Printed them out? NO! But on the up side, I do have the whole concept laid out in my  head. I'll try to get it done tomorrow.

I always design my own cards, which get whackier and whackier every year. (I'm pretty sure 75% of the recipients have no clue what the cards mean! ) They also get sent out later and later every year, but at least I get them in the mailbox by Christmas eve. I could set a new low this year!

Here is the front of last year's card, for your amusement...

And HAPPY CHANUKAH to all my Jewish friends! Please send me latkes.

And here's some Christmas music for you. I found this last year. Talented teenager from Winnipeg turns into internet sensation...

And you know he's a true Canadian, wearing shorts in the snow!
