The Goose Has Landed...

...on the Christmas list at least.  Every year for the past 3 or 4 years,  this goose shows up on my youngest daughter's list.  When it first made it's appearance, I thought she was wanting something specific.  I thought "Goose" was the name of something that was all the rage that I just hadn't heard about in my sheltered work at home world.  But it was forgotten as other things on her list made my shopping list.  The next year it was back, and I thought I was really out to lunch not knowing what this thing was.  Again, it didn't translate to the shopping list.  Third year, I finally asked what the heck it was.  Well, turns out, Brother Dear thought it would be funny to add "goose" to her list and see what happened.  The goofy thing is he is getting very proficient at copying her printing.  If you saw his natural penmanship you would be amazed at this skill he has established.  This year it is back again. I believe this has become the latest Christmas tradition at the Living to Tell Household.  I think she and I would miss it if that Goose didn't land on the list!

That's so funny. Those are the kinds of traditions I love best, the ones that just develop on their own.

There must be a goose ornament or a little stuffed goose out there somewhere. :-)
