The animals decided a trip to the circus was just the thing for Christmas.

They'd seen posters by the General store in town.

They clicked off the tree lights.

Rabbit took a last look at her favorite Christmas Present, A signed copy of The Misfits of Love by Katherine Dunn

 

Some stayed behind

and played with their toys.......

 

But those that went saw the show of their lives!

Donkey balanced a ball and Fox played Deck the Halls on the violin.

Hedgehog surprised everyone with her juggling prowess.

 

afterwards everyone got a large piece of Yule Log Cake to remember the perfect Christmas day.

XXXXXXXX

I'll be listing a limited and signed number of the Circus prints in my Etsy shop.

all done with archival inks and very colorful for Christmas!

Enjoy the yuletide

and Happy New Year!

A night in December

Wool sweaters and neck scarves have all been shaken out of drawers here in Cambria.
Just a short drive inland and it fell to 17 degrees last night.

Squirrel couldn't wait to get home from his day at the river.

Snowman liked the cold weather and even stood for awhile listening to the night.

Squirrel made a cup of tea as soon as he got indoors.

Hedgehog made custards with  extra cream.

I'll be listing these pottery pieces on Friday (though I won't be able to reserve ) and a few more times too before Christmas.
Hope you are staying happy and warm on your December nights~
