I was at Cracker Barrel yesterday and they have quite a few basset Christmas items this year. Along with their annual singing, ear flopping basset (this year's hound sings "Blue Christmas"), they have two large statues of bassets with Santa hats on and one of them with a candy cane in his mouth, salt & pepper shakers that are a basset and a reindeer, two kissing fur dogs that when activated one shakes his tail with a jingle bell on it as the other tells him she loves him and how he jingles her bells--haha!, a plate with a painted basset on it that says "belly rubs please" on it, Christmas ball ornaments with painted bassets on them, dog bone tree ornaments and probably more I can't remember. Just thought I'd pass this along for those who are collectors like me. But, of course, don't forget all the rescue groups with holiday items for sale! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Happy holidays from Susan<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> and Gracie, my precious girl rescued houndie <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
