I'm helping Angela and Hugh
raise up to £250 for charity by sharing what's on top of my Christmas
tree! This year blogger Hugh Roberts and his "special lady" Angela have
committed to donating £1 for each comment or pingback to Angela and
Hugh’s Christmas Tree Topper Challenge. You can check out all of the
entries here, but first let me show you my Christmas tree topper:
That's
right - I have my very own Abominable Snow Monster! For years now he's
been coming by once a year in order to place a star on top of my tree.
Is it wrong that this is my favorite part of Christmas? I'm neither very
sentimental nor very religious, but somehow seeing the Abominable
hovering at the top of my tree fills me with... well, I guess you'd have
to call it Christmas spirit!
So what's on the top of your Christmas tree?
You've heard of feral cats, but feral skunks? True, I'm afraid - if you can't tell by the smell. In my backyard they like to trade off taking advantage of the well-protected nest in the woodpile. A new litter of kittens with their mom is inevitably followed by a new litter of baby skunks with theirs! This one was on its own, but you can bet pretty soon we'll be seeing a black-and-white caravan trailing up and down the hill.
Evidently there are lots of mysteries to solve in Ventura County.
And look! There's Scooby in the window! Hope he lets me drive...
And it's mine... all mine!
Love the look on the lower one's face...
