Post your Festive Avatar or you suck!

[condyk]

Some of you have had them since around September time but that is Ok. My own festive choice to celebrate the Christian season of Christmas this year shows a proud !Kung elder with the traditional lip piece. What is your festive Avatar? Post a message in this thread to show it off :-)

its taken from a picture of robin redbreast , the little bird hardly moved {so cold}:(, it was near the lakes in Glendalough and the date just happened to coincide with the anniversary of JFK. the print was already on the picture from last year so I cropped it off for the smaller version
thats heavy frost not snow , why it was so cold

Guilty as charged. Although the first time was really just to make sure it worked correctly, get in on my wireless network and such. The second time was because I was itching to try some of the sports games that come with it. They are a lot of fun, and anyone getting one of these for the holidays will be more than happy.

its the nicest bird ever
there is one close by hopping around in the garden all year

There are lot of thin skinned comments going on. Must be the Xmas season & everyone is getting it out of thier systems before the relatives arrive?
In the last day, L--- is upset. J-- is upset... S-------- is just being a dufus... And I have to admit that I haven't been all that thrilled by some of the other members here, either.

Well, it's the day after Christmas, so the red/green eyes and the evergreen nose are gone. I'd like to say they'll be missed, but I suspect they will not.

I miss them already.

That's why Wolfie is keeping his hat - he knows you'd miss it.

Trivial. That's a rather well known Haida, a B.C. first nation, ideogram. Freely translated it means "'He who runs with gophers".

Thou art so wrong, Bwana!

[JimAskew]

Sigh...I can't believe that 2007 is just around the bend :(

Back to grandkids...shot my new avatar yesterday :)

[Belmondo]

I can't think of an appropriate 'seasonal' avatar until Halloween. Till then, I'll just continue with my same old cheerful smiley face.

[20droger]

And I'll continue with my mystery avatar (which still has nothing to do with gophers).

[PeacePlanet]

I dont want to be feeling suck so my avatar of a laughing bird reminds me to laugh a lot and just be happy. Fair enough.
