Ho Ho Ho Happy Holidays (Macro Monday)

lc3170


Can you believe how quickly the time is flying?! A few more days and Christmas is upon us!

We added this adorable mouse in a mailbox ornament last year. I love getting Christmas cards in my mailbox, don't you?!

When we got our tree this year we found animal couples. We decided to add a pair to our tree and we chose the alligators. Now that might seem an odd choice, but there were no appropriate Wisconsin animals. There were lions, giraffes, elephants, but no deer, bears or badgers. So we chose the alligators since we were married in south Texas and we were able to see them wild there.

I also found a Santa riding a dragonfly, who could resist such whimsy?

Have a Holly Jolly week! :)

    So cute! We didn't put up a tree this year because we're hitting the road to visit family & friends, but every year I buy a special ornament ... I'll have to find one on our trip! I saw the Olympic torch today ... very cool!

    Mouse in the mailbox is very cute but my favourite is that little and friendly looking alligator :-) It's a very creative and nice idea to choose wild animal ornaments. Merry Christmas! :-)

    I think the gator is cute. We saw a lot down in Florida and I have a coffee cup in my kitchen with an alligator on it.

    Yes, Christmas is getting to close. I have the boys done and thats it. I still need to figure something out for my nieces, parents, and sister. YIKES....

    Yes, I love getting cards in the mailbox! So adorable! And the alligator is perfect, somehow.

    I've posted a close-up, but not really a macro BUT it's two super-adorable kitties snuggling in round bed. I think you'll like it if you come visit.
