A cow tree? Okay, you’re thinking “what the heck is Kacey talking about.” Seriously, I can hear you thinking that!
Well, I showed you some of our ornaments…but I didn’t get into our fascination with cow ornaments…
Our family has a thing about cows… among other strange traditions. Okay, that’s another long story for a different post…but we do indulge our addiction just a bit with our Christmas ornaments. I think this guy actually sang or mooed at one time…
A Christmas Cow scrubby ornament. Who knew? Betcha you don’t have one of those!
This cute little farmer-cow-bell (multipurpose everything!) ornament. We have more cow ornaments, but you get the picture.
We even have a strand of cow Christmas lights! Yes, not everyone can claim they have those on their tree!
We have just a few strange traditions regarding our tree that have evolved over the years…like this one:
Our Christmas star…always tilted at a crazy angle. That then got a Jack-in-the-box ornament hung from him the next year…and every year after. That then got the Integra emblem and key from The Geeky One’s first car….that The Impish One totalled a few years ago… 😯 (He was okay, it’s all good) Who knows what will get added to the star as the years go by…
That cute little Christmas dolly used to be at the top of our tree. Sigh. Those days are long gone.

As I promised, the prize for the 2008 Photo of the Year Contest is handmade by SuperGuy.
Behold, the winner of the 2008 Photo of the Year Contest will receive this handmade wine cork trivet.
Well, not THIS particular one. This one is MINE.
This one is mine too… I have quite a few of them scattered around my kitchen. This one is hung on the end of my cabinets, ready to grab at a moments notice.
Some I have hung up on the wall just for decoration.
As an added bonus, the winner will be able to see some of the wines we killed off sipped slowly … 😉
SuperGuy is making one just for you! The winner. Well, we don’t know who you are yet, but you know what I mean.
Now you really, really want to win, don’t you? What could be more appropriate a prize for a blog called Wine on the Keyboard. Well, I considered giving away one of my numerous keyboards that I’ve killed with spilled wine…but, I refrained myself.
So come back tomorrow and cast your votes for your favorite Photo of 2008!
