Comes a time when we take another look at the December cards we received, and that time came last night. Two piles: keep, recycle.
This one is in the keep pile because it’s unusual. I’m assuming the dude is Santa, although I have to allow for the possibility that it could be Jesus.
Nah, it’s Santa all right. The long white beard nails that down. There are no photos of Jesus with a white beard.
But Santa isn’t delivering toys, and he isn’t wearing his red uniform. Instead, he’s taking a stroll through the woods in the snow, resplendent in his white robe, pale blue jacket, and pine cone necklace. His destination is unclear. Is he delivering a wreath (left hand), an owl (right hand), or a bunny (sack slung over his shoulder)?
Wait – I don’t think Santa has a destination at all. Just posing for a portrait. Those aren’t work clothes, right?
Kudos to the photographer for catching Santa, the owl, and two rabbits all with their eyes open. And kudos to the owl for pretending he isn’t aching to rip the rabbit’s throat out. Must have been a Christmas truce.
Only you could come up with that scenario...
