| Don't you just love him? |
Okay, this
is the second last Holiday-ish blog I will write until December madness crops
back up in 11 or so months. Yesterday I
sat around my apartment, welcoming the New Year by cleaning up the old crap
that just sits around. Unfortunately, it got me thinking about nixing all those
Christmas cards. Each one made me smile as I opened my mail box, I really love receiving
them but my table shrine (I was pretty
lazy and dressed up a fold out table rather than a tree this Christmas) has got
to go. I hate the idea of tossing all these mementos of Christmas 2013, my
first away from home; but I hate the clutter. Also, I come from a long line of
hoarders and I really want to nip that habit in the bud.
What do you
do with your Christmas cards?
I thought I
would also take this time to acknowledge my favourite Christmas card from 2013,
it was from my Nanny Bruce and I absolutely love it.
Seriously, I
have this little guy pinned above my desk at work. He is the Christmas Card
2013 Champion. Why do I like him so much? Well, he is golden. The best (okay,
just my favourite) color of dog, he has the most adorable puppy-sized scarf
around his neck and he is not just walking in the on a freaking mission. This
guy is trudging through the snow to get somewhere. No effort was made to have a
happy puppy on a winter walk; this pup is just like us humans; dressed for the
snowy conditions but still not happy to be out experiencing winter weather.
I would love
to have this little guy in my home, I like to think he is dashing off to an
important place to accomplish monumental things. That is the expression on his
adorable little face and I love it.
Okay, I may
have gone a little too deep with analysis of this Christmas card. But, I do
truly love it. Props to Grandmother MacDonald and Ashley Ettinger for also playing
the pet cards this year, they were a close second and third.
Thank you
everyone for your Christmas cards! I am already looking forward to picking a
favourite for 2014!
