Every year since 2000, our Christmas card photo has involved a statue wearing a Santa hat. The first eleven photos are here. Last year’s photo is here.
We took the 2012 photo during our Thanksgiving trip to Erie, where the world’s best Christmas card statue lives. I don’t see how we can possibly top this one. Because nothing says “Merry Christmas” like Jesus in a Santa hat. Nothing says “I’m going to hell” like the cursing I did in front of Jesus when I realized I’d forgotten the wireless remote for the camera (the photo shoot can’t go smoothly, it’s part of the tradition).
My brother-in-law doesn’t believe this is Jesus. He’s convinced it’s Copernicus. But I assure you, there is a statue of Jesus at Gannon University and we put a Santa hat on it. I’m a little disturbed that my brother-in-law thinks we are weird enough to put a Santa hat on Copernicus, but lie and say it’s Jesus. But now I feel the need to find a statue of Copernicus for a future photo.
Santa hat difficulty: easy, except for the arctic wind that kept blowing the hat off Jesus’ head.
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM TRACY, DAVE, CHUCK, AND JESUS!
Love it and Merry Christmas to you!
That’s awesome! Merry Christmas!
Love it! Merry Christmas.
And it totally looks like Jesus…
Jesus looks so festive! I love it!
Aw, and all was right with the world. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, et al, Tracy!
I love this! My husband has a tradition of posing with statues for his avatars.
It took me a little while to get that it was Jesus until the husband pointed out the caption. You have the best xmas card photo as usual! See you in the new year.
Hahah that’s fantastic! Merry (belated) Christmas!
