A red star still clings to the Crow Tree outside. Crows are avoiding my gift of baubles. I even called to one in my most welcoming caw-caw voice. He responded in kind, caw-caw, but flew on past. I added ribbons. I think I need cracked corn.Nonetheless, I'm also showing what tops my indoor tree, a wee fake thing in a plastic basket. I put up a few of the kids' ornaments--the crystal ballerina, the Christmas kitty, a wreath made of green-painted puzzle pieces. A tiger in a star tops all the mementos.
Last year my eldest went to India for an environmental journalism class and stayed at a tiger refuge. When she returned, I got a lovely scarf of apricot, market spices and the tiger ornament. He's a grand addition to the tree and deserves top billing.
Geoff Le Pard over at TanGental introduced me to the charity blog event. It's fun and it's a good cause! All you need to do is share what's on top of your tree, post it and pingback to the original post at Hughes Views & News.
I hate to admit it but we still don't have our tree up yet. Procrastinating this year :) Normally I have an angel on top though. Love your tiger.
ReplyDeleteI did, too and finally settled on the fake table topper! Thanks!
DeleteHow lovely to have a tiger ornament from the tiger refuge. I haven't yet checked out Geoff's post about the charity blog event. Must do that now! How a wonderful Christmas. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Norah! You'll get a kick out of Geoff's tree topper! :-) Merry Christmas!
DeleteThe tiger is terrific! (Notice how I refrained from calling it grrreat? Evidently Christmas puts me in a silly mood.)
ReplyDeleteThat's grrrrreat! Made me laugh! :-D So did your abominable tree topper! ;-)
DeleteLove the tiger! He's unique and beautiful. Happy to see another roughwriter in on the charity event. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun charity event and a great way to circulate it!
