A wolf or possibly a wolf-like dog

OK. So what's Xmassy about a wolf? Wolves are awesome, but just don't have that look-good-with-holly thing going for them.

Wolves go with Snow?

And for reasons that don't entirely match the climatology of the embracing culture "Snow goes with Christmas"?

I guess the religion/climate thing is in my head as we spent the weekend in Cordoba which has lots of (old) Muslim architecture, and was f*cking freezing. Horseshoe arches, geometrically divided windows, palm trees, and us scurrying to restaurants with under-table heating.

Was it unseasonably cold, or just a surprise after Madrid?

I'm just a wuss when it comes to cold - warmer than the average has been here (but then I'm inside a lot more while it is the working week).

Madrid is definitely in winter now - lots of crisp cold days which are lovely in the sun with your back to a south facing wall and rather less so if there's much of a wind down from the mountains.

Still, at least it isn't raining very often.

Many people are now thinking that the normal nativity animals (cattle, asses, lambs, camels) are insufficiently cool. Wolves coming to the manger to pay homage are being introduced to make Jesus look more badass.

Plus the three wise ninjas turn up to offer respect.

Apparently, if it all goes well, next year there will be an Aliens vs Predator vs Jesus crossover.

That I'd love to see.
