IAmSinistar: +1 for the great giveaway. I'd like to be in for
tinyE, in the hopes a game will help him get through those appalling cookies.
This holiday is the Winter Solstice for me, though my family does Christmas as the Great Gifting Holiday. Among my favourite traditions are my mother's 7-Layer Cookies and going to the botanical garden light shows (there are two amazing ones in my area). A more recent tradition for me is helping out at the local Craft Mafia's Handmade Holiday, which I've been doing for about three years now.
tinyE: I have considered that maybe Blue Jays (of which we have tons) might be able to team up and carry one together, but then I'm not so sure that Blue Jays migrate. Do we have any ornithologist here? Anyone?
IAmSinistar: They do, though we pretty much have a population of them here all year (though not necessarily the same birds year-round). They are especially noticeable when mobbing in breeding season, when their raucous calls get even louder. Don't know if they'd go for your cookies, but they are mad about peanuts in the shell.
So what you are saying is that they exibit a mob mentality? That would work; it shows they work together and hence two of them could be capable of carrying a coconut together. Ah yes, it's all starting to make sense now. :D
