Meet Buckface

Once upon a time, in a dry and dusty land, there lived a girl. Every winter in this particular land where this particular girl lived, there was a festive celebration known as Christmas or Yule. The girl especially loved this holiday, for it was filled with much merry-making, festive decorations and blessedly wonderful weather. During this time of year, the townspeople would decorate their houses with lights and animated representations of favorite symbols of the season.

The girl and her mate would join in this tradition, for the most part. They covered the outside of their dwelling with sparkly lights and placed a glowing tree in their front window. But never, in all the years of the girl’s life, had she been able to put an animated creature in her front yard. She had always longed to do so, had even begged her mate to purchase her one. But, what with one thing or another, the girl and her mate had been unable to fulfill this lifelong dream.

This holiday season began, for the girl, like so many others. She began decorating her holiday tree, she even made a new wreath with with to decorate the entrance to their home. Her mate decorated the outside of their home with lights, like every other year. But suddenly, what appeared before the girl’s eyes but a 48″ animated standing buck! The girl danced with joy and designated a place of honor for the beautiful animated creature.

She bestowed upon him the name of Buckface…and he was glorious.
