Not to be confused with Christmas crap



















Someone sent me a
Christmas carp. Patron saint of the piscine posse, reeking of ancient symbolism and lore, he’s the very embodiment of the reason for the season on a subterranean psychological level. And he kind of grows on you; all those happy-faced holiday decorations can wear thin, but his penetrating, unwavering stare radiates solidity and stolidity. Merry fishmas!

My college roommate once sewed by hand and bestowed on me a plush stuffed fish. We called it 'Benji the Bedtime Bass'. It was one of my favorite birthday presents ever.

I like the fact that you have moved to the Christmas crap stage. I agree it is wearing thin.

I rather like the carp, although it looks more like a bass to me, but the colors are lovely.

Lidian said...

I like him too. He looks very discerning!

Shieldmaiden, I used to have a stuffed bass, too!

Melanie, I agree about the colors, and Lidian, you've picked the perfect word, as usual.

And papercages, I'm sorry you're not in the mood for Christmas. It'll be over soon!
