Last night after a satisfying meal at the noisy and crowded Texas Roadhouse , home of the annoying singing and dancing waiting staff, we went to World Market for some stocking stuffing shopping and I took this opportunity to buy my ornament. They had a pretty good selection and I narrowed it down to two choices: A sparkly, hot-pink, winged pig and a gift-toting Santa riding a giant rooster. My decision was made when the Wife said the rooster riding Santa was "twisted". I like twisted.

Our Christmas Tradition
Each year, the Wife and I buy new ornaments for the Christmas Tree. It's our little tradition. This year the Wife went with some very colorful and sparkly balls. I usually shy away from the traditional balls. I prefer Santas, snowmen, and the occasional reindeer. There have been exceptions to this rule like this globe ball I bought a few years ago in Solvang.

Cool ornament.
ReplyDeleteWe used to do that, buy an ornament yearly, when I was growing up. Now I don't bother with a tree.
I used to get ornaments every year as a kid; ended up with waaaay too many ornaments by the time I got older.
ReplyDeleteThe real question is: what inspired someone to create an ornament with a Santa riding a rooster? Ponder that one...
JaG: Thanks. I never bothered with a tree until I met the Wife. She's more into the tree than I am but it does help you get into the spirit.
ReplyDeleteGH: I did a little research and apparently there is a legend that a rooster crowed to announce the birth of Jesus. I guess Santa riding the rooster is a way to combine the more secular Santa with religion in a very subtle way.
Um, my tree is stuck behind the couch...has been for 5 years...
ReplyDeleteJaG: I don't clean behind my couch either ;-)
