The time has come to send out the annual Christmas card. I wanted to include my buddy Atlas in the card again this year. Paying tribute to the movie "A Christmas Story," this is what I came up with.
And now for some details...
Three images of Atlas were used in order to get the proper look. He has a short attention span and won't hold still for very long. He doesn't naturally like the flavor of cardboard, a little peanut butter does the trick

I used his tongue and ear from this photo.
The other ear was clipped from this photo and added.

This fence post served as the flagpole.
An out of focus photo of Broad Ripple park serves as the background.

Check out cards from years past.
