Robin on a log with holly


It is that time of year when I have to begin thinking of a design for our Christmas cards. We go away soon and I may not have time to get it together when we get back.

I begin by trawling the net for inspiration, and when I was doing it just now I came up with the above. I am tempted, but I don't think H.I. would let me.

It sums up the festive season perfectly, I think.

    That looks like a White Walker from Game of Thrones! I love it! Haha.

    It's Jack Nicholson from The Shining. This now will be our card this year. It sort of sums up 2018 eh?

    Perhaps leaving it until you come home is a better idea.

      I'm home and the idea seems better.

      I can't get into that frame of mind this year.

      I'm worried about opening the door and getting washed away with blood now.

      It's going to adorn a few mantle shelves this year.

    Oh, man. I watched that film when I was a child and it gave me nightmares. Brutal Xmas card.

    I like it because he looks so silly and definitely not dead. That makes it acceptable to me.

    A lot of people can relate. If you send them, it will make a lot of people laugh. Everybody can use that.

      It even made H.I. laugh. I couldn't bring myself to do a robin and log one. Not after this year.

      H.I. Has warmed to the idea now, if that's the right way of putting it.

    I see that your last post about Brexit resulted in 7 comments, whilst this one, on Christmas cards had a bag of twenty four. Just about sums up the utter boredom that is Brexit! For God's sake let's just do it and get on with life!
    I like your choice of card, though - go for it!
