We are having a tough time over here, but presents in the mailbox make things a little easier.
I think every household needs its very own squirrel nutcracker (you lift his tail).

Many thanks to Lisa for the best present ever.
P.S. You still time to enter the $100 giveaway.

I just found your blog today, and oh my goodness! I love squirrels probably more than anything else! I’ve collected quite a good many squirrel treasures but I’m elated to find another squirrel lover!

Davy Crack-it!!! He is my favorite Christmas decoration and this year we decided to leave him out year round. Davy always makes me smile.
