Years ago in Canada everybody jumped on the country decorating bandwagon. Remember the pastel blue backgrounds with the white geese bedecked in ribbon? And who could forget the stylized cows? They even tried to make outhouses look cute. I thought it was rather silly of people to romanticize something like cows. I was young when we lived in rural Saskatchewan but I remember cows with crap on their haunches that stabbed at you with their horns and outhouses that were festooned with flies. I was so glad the cute farm fad passed.
I feel a tiny bit guilty about liking my ceramic christmas cow.
