The Tropical, Dual-Sun Animal Cookie Tree

"There's a party going on right here, a celebration, to last throughout the year"*

Yes, there IS a party going on, right now. And you can be there, today. It's being put on by the ever effervescent @haphazard-hstead, with the sole intent of lending a bit of assistance to one of our very own Steemitian's, the very fun and humorously talented @blacklux.

She lives in Puerto Rico, and you are all quite aware what folks there have been going through this past year. So let's all hear it for a holiday party to pick up the spirits around here, and help out one of our own with a bit of a lift as well.

And this is my first contribution, to the cookie theme of things. Yes, I realize these are not home-made treats. And not even Christmas cookies. But hey, they're arranged like a Yule tree! And they're animals. There were animals in the manger. So I got this covered.

Oh, It's LOVELY

And just like Dad's throughout history, that have sworn -- time and again, on Christmas morning since time immemorial, whenever they got a lumpy, home-made ashtray out of clay, or a tie that just wouldn't go with anything they own -- "I Love It. And Remember, it's the thought that counts, son".

So, I'm going with similar thoughts on this one. And I have a few very positive ones, for everyone out in SteemitLand this holiday season, and for @blacklux in particular. As well as all the people affected by the storms in Puerto Rico this year. My heart, and tropical plate of animal cookies go out to you in earnest, and a sincere hope for a much better New Year to come.

Plus, on second look, this little museum-type flat diorama DOES look a bit tropical, which is right in step with this party for @blacklux, as she lives in Puerto Rico. And it is VERY tropical there. So climb on down off my cloud, and climb on up and over to the party cloud next door, and see what's shakin'. And help out a very fun, humorous Steemitian with a great take on life, in the process. You won't be sorry. And remember:

"We gonna celebrate and have a good time...Come On!"*

Thanks for stopping in and viewing the tropical, sun-clad, homemade cookie tree for the @blacklux party. If you have any thoughts about stack-able Christmas trees, parties, odd-shaped animal cookies with little resemblance to an actual animal, living or dead, or anything else this post reminds you of, please feel free to comment away in the spaces below. I'd love to hear from you.

Party Poste Script:

If you are wondering, after gazing at my cookie tree above: "have I been at the drink table a bit too long?" No worries. There IS a double-animal-image there. From two hi-tech photo lights. So no, it is not from too much imbibe-ance, but a photographic anomaly. So, paaate' on, and enjoy. But only one or two more trips to that table. You still have to stay up half the night and post on Steemit ( :
