Teddy–ahead of his time

Teddy, age 9, has loved pigs for several years.  When he first asked me for a pig birthday cake, I was amazed to discover that there were hundreds of photo suggestions for “pig cake” online.  Who knew that so many people wanted a pig-themed birthday cake?  Ted and I gave him a stuffed pig last Christmas, and he loves it.  For his birthday, he asked for a pig quilt to keep him and Waffles (the stuffed pig) warm.

Now I know for sure that Teddy was ahead of the trend.  When Ted and I took our walk a week ago, we saw a pig Christmas decoration.  Yes, when I think of Christmas, I often think of decorative pigs.  (Not.)  This one lights up at night, but the lights are white and don’t show the pink color.  It even sparkles in the sun!

Here’s the pig ornament.

The pig is one member of a menagerie.  There’s a raccoon, a polar bear, a cardinal, a rabbit, an owl, and more in this display.  Lawn Ornament Christmas is evolving.
