It’s the first day of summer for those of us who live in the northern hemisphere, but south of the equator it’s winter. This penguin is not only wearing earmuffs and a scarf to ward off the cold, but also the remnants of an Antarctic snowstorm. It’s possible that this is not a tree ornament, but it seemed only natural to use that wire earmuff band to insert a Christmas tree hanging hook. I feel lucky to have this ornament in the collection, because it was the last one on the shelf when I bought it.
