Christmas Down South – The Old Try

December 17, 2014

OldTryChristmas_Blog

Here’s the thing – we Fontenots are really proud of our Christmas cards. I mean, real proud. We sort of think they’re the best. But if there was another best, it’s The Old Try. A limited – can’t buy it on their website – shows up in the mail Christmas LETTERPRESS PRINT?! Yup. We’ve felt incredibly honored to receive these. We frame those babies and keep them up year round.

The 2014 Christmas print – The Yeti – is our favorite so far.
So this year, I was extra excited when we received 2…one for us…and one for ?…

  • Comment on this post and tell us the last Christmas movie you watched.
  • The first 30 entries will be counted twice!

A winner will be chosen at random and announced on Christmas Eve!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! CONGRATULATIONS TO ANITA FOR WINNING!

    A huge thanks to The Old Try for introducing me to y’all here at Back Down South! Moved to Chicago after a life in Atlanta and Austin, and we can’t wait to head back down that way!

    Whew. They’re all running together. Rudolph, as a movie and a puppet show at the Center for Puppetry Arts. ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, and its weird, mustache-less Santa. Michael Caine Scrooge; Patrick Stewart Scrooge; George C. Scott Scrooge. And Scrooged, of course. It’s a generous season.
