I really took my time trying to decide whether I should buy the kissing penguin ornament or not. For one thing, it’s got those disturbing lips, bug eyes, scraggily hair and flesh-colored cheeks. It was also kind of expensive. And it’s not very well painted. Finally I decided I’d better take it with me, or else it might never find a loving home. I think I hung it on the back of the tree. Another factor in my decision is that I only found a few penguin ornaments in this rather large Christmas store in New Jersey. If there had been more penguins, I might have passed on the kissing penguin. I didn’t have any reservations about the little penguin with the giant candy cane. Both are from the same company, so I think I did the right thing to buy both and keep them together.
