It's Christmas Card Day!


I recently came across the Peanuts comic strip (posted above) in my TLLG FB newsfeed. Evidently it was originally published on December 2, 1972. Since today, December 9th is Christmas Card Day, I think it's a good time to share Woodstock's wisdom, as well as Snoopy's skepticism with his lesson learned.

Last year I posted an entry here on Blogger which provided info re this particular holiday, and I was feeling more optimistic like Woodstock seems to be in the strip posted above. However, at this juncture, I'm going through very bad times (in spite of the fact that progress is being made with the success of the hardcover version of Words In Our Beak Volume One...

AVAILABLE WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD (INCLUDING AMAZON)

...and I'm identifying with what Snoopy seems to be expressing in the second frame of this strip. I'm not small enough in stature to go sit in my mailbox as Snoopy is doing (in frame four of the strip), but I will take his cue and remain hopeful. After all, we are in the season of Advent; a season where the emphasis is on waiting in hope with expectation.

ADDENDUM FALL 2018: 

The digital versions of volume one within the Words In Our Beak book series that are mentioned in this entry may only remain available for a limited time, but hardcover versions of volume one, two and three can now be found wherever books are sold.

MY BOOK SERIES

Please click here to go to my blog post that provides details as to where you can get these books. Additionally, I have rendered some images from these books into other formats and they are available via Fine Art America (FAA). Some of my other photographs (Black & White CollectionKaleidoscopic Images and the famous Mandarin duck who visited NYC) can also be found on my FAA pages.

ADDENDUM SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2021:

When the third volume of the hard-cover version of Words In Our Beak was released, I withdrew from promoting my former versions of Words In Our Beak. 

The very first one is an iBook and went into Apple's book store in 2015.


This was followed by an ePub version...


... that is available on Amazon and was also published in 2015.

Subsequently, Words In Our Beak's digital versions were published as a soft-cover book (with slight variations) by MagCloud in 2017.


Its press release can be read by clicking here.  

Now with the release of BIRD TALES....


... I've been advised to make mention of my early versions of volume one of Words In Our Beak, they do vary ever so slightly in content from the hard-cover version of volume one.

As of this addendum, I do not intend to create digital or soft-cover versions of Words In Our Beak Volume Two or Words In Our Beak Volume Three.
