🎄

In real life all the other animals would have run away and the squirrel would be gnawing on Santa's leg.

In separate incidents, I’ve seen a red squirrel chase a much larger gray squirrel and also a cat.

Also, some of those animals - the bear, the beaver, the chipmunk and the raccoon - should be denning or hibernating instead of sitting around in the snow.

revolve around use of a plastic mat called a "crazy carpet" (I think it may have been spelled Krazy Karpet). There was a nearby slate pit that kids in our neighborhood would flock to -- definitely not as aesthetically pleasing as the image you posted above. The hazard for us was that, depending on the depth of the snowfall, sometimes a piece of slate would be sticking out. If you hit that sharp rock at the wrong angle, it could tear your crazy carpet, or even split it in half. Sometimes it would even slice open your snow/ski pants. Mom was never happy with that outcome.

Interlude over.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Inquiring minds want to know.

These things were cheap:

It looked like a boat sort of.

I've never seen this type before.

We sledded down the hills on campus sitting on plastic trays we pilfered from the cafeteria. It was actually called “traying”.

clean trays or did they still have snacks left on them for after the sledding?

Usually some kind of alcohol was involved when being used as a “sled”, though……

TY Niagara.

I especially love pics of the little woodland creatures in Christmas themed images.

I thought it was an adorable scene too.

I love both of them.

Happy Holidays to you & yours & All.

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

I joke around a lot, but I'll be serious here.

For me, pictures like this elicit some very good memories, and they warm my heart.

Please keep up the good work in posting things like this, and a very Merry Christmas to you.

I think that most people are aware that I share these to make their day a little brighter.

Apparently there's a few too fucked in the head types of people here that would rather beat someone down for wanting to bring joy to other people.

I'm happy to read that these warm your heart. That is purely my intent. Merry Christmas to you, Lucky!

Many thanks for some great daily vibes!
