As Christmas Day draws near the calendar of events is more back story and less must-be-done. This offers the chance to take time doing things that one normally has no time to do.
Like working out what this picture is.
Yes, here we have a card with snow on it. Plus some trees, an owl, a brace of white rabbits (one caught, one waiting to be) and a man who appears to have gone outside in his mother's winter nightgown carrying a wreath. It is not an easy card to understand.
Investigation leads to the Facebook page of Liz, the artist, who appears to draw great pictures and craft work sometimes relating to fantasy themes and enjoy drinking in South Dakotan bars. And eventually the picture is uncovered as:
Arctic Santa in Forest
Yet the sense of discovery that this gave me was quickly lost in a flood of unanswered questions:
- What other kind of Santa is there but an Arctic one?
- Why has the reindeer turned into an owl?
- Why is this dubious Santa wearing his Mum's nightgown?
- Why doesn't he catch the other rabbit to make a decent Christmas meal?
- And why has he stolen someone's Christmas wreath?
