Ghosts of Christmas past: the year we antlered the Hubster and the dog

In case you haven’t heard, antlers are in.
Really, they’re everywhere.  On labrador retrievers, Christmas card photos, and even cars.  We can attribute this trend to our dear friend KLZ from Taming Insanity, who, while known for many things, is perhaps most famous for her ability to rock a pair of antler ears.
This week she’s having an “Antler It Up!” contest.  We’re supposed to submit photos.  And y’all?  I actually have some.
This gorgeous gal is my sister.  We’ll call her Blondie.  I  don’t know for sure, but I’m fairly confident in my assertion that Blondie brought the antlers to last year’s Christmas gathering.  We’d just lost our father, and we were trying to inject some levity into the holidays by attempting to do realistic impressions of caribou.  Thus:

Impressive how Blondie can rock those antlers, no?  Didn’t even notice the attached reindeer ears on anybody else, but you sure can see ‘em here.
We even had a pair of antlers for the dog.  And some cocktails.  So Blondie and I were all over this.


So then we decided it would be fun to get the hubster involved.  The hubster, like most men, is not fond of having his picture made whilst accessorized.  Especially whilst accessorized with a headband.  Thus the attitude:

Which I tried to rectify:

And finally…

We even got the dog to look moderately enthused! 
So KLZ, enjoy.  I realize we put the antlers on the correct end of the dog, so I hope that doesn’t put us out of the running.  
Oh, one more thing….
Reindeer always travel with guardian angels.
