Santa, A Self-Portrait and Bird Issues

Remember yesterday's Owl Ornament? I realized something today: I have no idea where the owl ornament came from, but I do believe it's an acquisition of this past year. Neither Doug or I remember having an owl ornament last year.

Now the astute reader of my blog will immediately (unlike the author) recognize that something HAS to be up with this! Remember my issue with birds this past year? And the Evil Cedar Waxwing Attack on my house, and how we were saved by an Owl?

And now, an Owl Ornament of Unknown Origins (a bona-fide OOUO if ever there was one!) mysteriously appears on my Christmas tree!!!!! I'm just saying, what's up with all these bird events? (Although somehow I feel that this ornament should definitely represent us for 2009, and I'll sleep a little better tonight knowing it's standing watch over our tree.)

Loving the pictures of your tree and I also enjoy reading the "behind the scense story." Like that I can see your reflection in the bulb.

Too funny! I used to write down the ornaments we got for the boys, hoping that when they struck out on their own, we'd be able to sort them easily, and then I stopped doing it, thinking that I'd remember . . . NOT! So an unidentified owly ornament on your tree is not surprising at all . . . but it is the perfect ornament to cap your holiday! season!

Strange story. You may never know how that owl appreared but if you find out I hope you share.

I didn't even dawn on me, until I read this post, that you have a definite bird theme going on in your neck of the woods. Cue the Twilight Zone music...I'm glad that the owl is there to keep watch over your tree should any pesky waxwings find a way into your house this season. LOL

Love your "portrait" in the adjacent ornament!
