I know penguins have nothing to do with Christmas but I just love penguins and I bought this decoration a few years ago. I had a gap to fill so I took this photo to fill the gap.
I think you may have posted these guys in a different shot before, it is such a sweet sculpture, I’m pretty sure I remember it. I think the penguin/ Christmas connection is made through snow which is crazy on it’s own because what does snow have to do with the birth of a baby in Bethlehem? But then what does any of that have to do with the celebration of the winter solstice which gives us holly as a Christmas decoration? I think we all just try to cheer ourselves up, however we can, during the long dark days of winter and surely no creatures can need cheering up more than those poor male penguins who are left in the northern dark and cold trying to safeguard those precious eggs till the sun and the females return in the spring.
