Bear and Penguin

At As You Like It Challenge this week we're asking what your favourite Christmas image or animal is, and I think I may have found mine this week!  This adorable new bear has been released at Amanda Jayne Designs and I've totally fallen for him.  Normally, my favourite Christmas animal is a tuxedo wearing penguin (I adore love those funny little waddlers!) but this bear has seriously put my penguin addiction into question. However, just to be on the safe side though, I've added a photo-bombing penguin pal balancing on the bear's paw, but at the moment it's a hung jury!
