While I was out Christmas shopping at a local "tire" themed store, my husband and I came across your artfully arranged display of Christmas decorations. Something about the way that items were carefully aligned by colour and size
This little adorable attempt at a cardinal is fuzzy and rotund and just the sweetest guy ever. Even our cat loves him.
He in no way deserved what I then proceeded to do to him after we got him home.
You see, I have this awesome friend. Who does things like take me out to see the Broadway production Beauty and the Beast for an early Christmas gift, because I love Broadway and I can't even afford the back end of nose-bleed seats. And then brings us back Hill Billy sippy cups as a thank you for baby sitting her cat while she was away for 2 weeks (yes, they are exactly what you think they are: mason jars with lids and straws - aka AMAZING).
And she loves that trade-marked iPhone game in which the players launch feathered friends at porcine invaders.
And Debbie, this precious cardinal reminded me so much of the cover bird of this game that I couldn't help but say out loud in the store how much they resembled each other. And that it would just take a few minutes with some fabric (read yarn) and a glue gun, and they would be identical. André thought it was
And so, I apologize. I turned your beautiful delicate cardinal, this unique symbol of peace and love in Canadian Christmases into a creature that when catapulted at a swine will explode into a poof of feathers and take out the scenery. He has been transformed into a non-trade-marked please-don't-sue-me
IRATE AVIAN!
Merry Christmas Christine!
