A Penguin a day until Christmas – do some good

The holiday season brings out the charitable spirit in everyone. Yet many give to others all year round.

The penguins are activists in many areas, supporting good causes and positive efforts all over the place. From reading, recycling or American pride, the penguins are here to lend a helping hand and a little extra support.

Since the penguins were born, they’ve also been very involved in Breast Cancer Awareness efforts. In 2008 the Pink Ribbon Penguin website was built as a hub to support the ongoing efforts worldwide.

No matter your cause interests, the penguins are here to help you do good!

I’m always striving to try to be a better person. Some days are definitely more difficult than others. Here are 5 things I stand for to help me remember to do good every day.

What do YOU stand for?

A penguin a day until Christmas – working hard or hard at work penguins

Working working working, there’s happiness in this chore.
Working working working – and then I’ll work some more.

Some of my favorite jobs.. penguin style:


More work related penguins here!

My thoughts on work…
we spend so much time doing it, we should probably love it.
It’s not just about paying the bills, it’s about providing for those we love.
So, loving what we do creates that much more happiness out of the whole thing.

Do you love what YOU do?

A penguin a day until Christmas – the elves are working hard!

Due to all the last minute overnight free shipping 50% off deals around the universe, the elves are putting in double time to make your gifts – I sure hope you’ve been good!

(otherwise that’s a lot of overtime our taxes are paying for just for a few lousy lumps-o-coal)
These elves are sold separately – accessories not sold at all. Sorry, lots of budget cuts around these parts.
Holiday elf penguin and Christmas elf penguin – get your jolly going!

A penguin a day until Christmas – celebrating wedding happines

Today is my wedding anniversary, so what better way to celebrate than to show off the happiest couple around – Bride and Groom penguin!

My husband and I are working our way towards this happy waddling-ness, we’re a carb lovin’ couple and that will hopefully never change. But no way we’ll ever be as cute as these happy birds. I’m very honored to be able to say that these wedding penguins have been a part of that Big Day for a number of happy penguin loving couples. I hope they’re a part of many more!

As for me and my better half… I’m so glad he’s stuck around and put up with me this long. I’m a pretty lucky girl. @davidpgoode -> Noodles!

A penguin a day until Christmas – the cave drawings

I remember, when I was young, we used to sit around and draw on the walls (or so they’ve said). Living in the middle of a blueberry patch, the only color of paint I had was blue…
Here’s a reproduction of that very first ever penguin I painted in a cave long long ago:

Yeah, ok, that was dumb. But really, why are all the cave paintings usually of bison and Egyptian Gods? I’d like to think someone out there loved penguins too – don’t you?

Oh yes, you can! There are definitely t-shirts and posters and stickers and such of this fabulously fun cave painting penguin.

A Penguin a day until Christmas – oh Mister Postman

WAIT! I know some of you run and hide when music starts on a webpage.. but really, for the penguin, can you stay a minute? Let your hair down and sing along…

Mr. Postman
Wait, oh yes wait a minute mister postman wait
Wait mister postman, mister postman look and see
You got a letter in your bag for me
I been waiting such a long time
Since I heard from that girl of mine
There must be some word today
From my girlfriend so far away
Please mister postman look and see
If there’s a letter, a letter for me
I been standing here waiting mister postman so patiently
For just a card or just a letter
Saying she’s returning home to me
So many days you passed me by
See the tear standing in my eye
You didn’t stop to make me feel better
By leaving me a card or a letter
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
You gotta wait a minute, wait a minute
You gotta check it and see, one more time for me
Wait wait wait deliver the letter
The sooner the better, wait.

So for anyone waiting for the postman to arrive in time for Christmas…
I hope this song gets stuck in your head and makes you forget the grumblings you had towards the USPS.
