Tis the season when pigs lead bears

Part of the magic of Christmas at our house is knowing that anything can happen, that reality as we know it can be suspended. The stable sits under the tree, waiting for a small family to arrive, the animals keep watch, the wise men cross Switzerland and the pig, sniffing out excitement, leads the elephant and the camel across a ceramic desert without a worry on its mind.

Meanwhile, other pigs, in their own gentle way, remind us that this is a time for simplicity, peace and happiness.
