As is my way, I made Christina a calendar for Christmas again this year. This year’s theme was one of those little wooden people that artists use to help them sketch poses of the human body. (Christina doesn’t have any special attachment to it; I just thought it would be funny.)

I’ll be sharing the pages of the calendar here over the next 12 days, so by January 13, you can make this calendar yourself if you are so inclined. (Full-size versions of the pages are available by clicking on the thumbnails below.)

“2010: Spend the year with your favorite wooden mannequin. (“Just where is that supposed to go?”)”

“January: Time to take your lights down before they take you down.”
