Everyone celebrates the winter holiday season in their own way. Here at land of cute, we are having a Littlest Christmas... including a Littlest Pet Shop Christmas Countdown Calendar and this delightful penguin and ferret set. Do any of you have special holiday traditions?

One of my favorite cute characters is Tea Dog, with his little sad face and tea leaf ears. But, his toys are hard to find. Apparently he has a DS game, though... and look! It's almost christmas!

Owl take one of those...

Yes - it plugs in to your USB drive and does cute things...

Bolt to the theaters

Could Bolt be in the running for cutest movie of 2008? How could you go wrong with an obese hamster, adorable dog with Harry Potter-esque lightening bolt plastered on his side, and a reluctant cat accomplice? I read a rave review this weekend, has anyone out there seen it yet?

Two Brothers

Yes, it's from an animal movie. Yes, I cried through most of the movie. But the cute cubs were worth it...

karma chameleon

Is it blasphemous to add a palm tree to a mini zen garden? Some have said that I will be reincarnated as a cockroach for doing it. The temptation is too strong, though. I think I may be mixing religious philosophies as well...

Bearrring bearrring

Why don't all our phones look like this?

Ira Update

Here is a recent picture of Ira, our co-workers dog. He appears to be behaiving perfectly well.

If you can't say something nice....

How could you say anything at all but "awww..." at Thumper?

Appa

Appa is a flying buffalo from "Avatar". He belongs to Aang, who is the avatar. I have been watching each episode of this show one by one...and Appa is missing. The sand-wind-people took him and sold him. And I watched in to Monday night, hoping he would be returned or that Aang would find him...but nothing. I am a little distressed...

cute it and weep

This Weepies video was submitted by our friend Jimi. I almost feel bad basking in the cuteness of this creature's sorrow, but I just can't help it.

Bunny Crunchy Snacks

Kish yer gater goodbye

Well, they caught the alligator that had been lurking in the Kishwaukee. The native Kish species are having a party to celebrate. The image on the top is our very own local gator who was caught, and the image below that is...just a cute shot of a baby hitching a ride.

me and julio down by the schoolyard

This is my friend Julio (named after the Paul Simon song). He lives in some vegetation by our apartment and comes out a couple of hours a day to sniff around and eat stuff. Is he a woodchuck or a muskrat?

BOOO!

Our boss is scared of squirrels. I feel bad laughing since I am afraid of weird things too, but come on! Squirrels? While he was out of the office yesterday we decided to play a prank on him. We made a HUGE print of this picture (found on google images) and taped it over his computer monitor. I hope he doesn't decide to get revenge someday...

Mickey

This is Mickey - he lives in Minneapolis, and was just adopted. Super cute burrito pose!

HEY YOU GUYS!

Sloths are strange creatures. But, even strange creatures can have cute babies!

This video claims to be the funniest baby sloth video ever, we'll let our Land of Cute citizens decide.

Golden Ratio of Cute

In mathematics and the arts, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio between the sum of those quantities and the larger one is the same as the ratio between the larger one and the smaller. The golden ratio is approximately 1.6180339887.

At least since the Renaissance, many artists and architects have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio—especially in the form of the golden rectangle, in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the golden ratio—believing this proportion to be aesthetically pleasing. Mathematicians have studied the golden ratio because of its unique and interesting properties. (from Wikipedia)

NOW PRESENTING: THE GOLDEN RATIO OF CUTE

WAR: cute vs. super

I received this picture from my sister the other night:

It seems to be your basic struggle between Hulk and Littlest Pet Shop turtle.

I responded with a surprise-attack battle.

Then, WAR ensued.

May the cute be victorious.

I'm sensitive in the flabby parts

Land of Cute gives "Kung-Fu Panda" two thumbs up. Po is extra cute, the bad guy is bad and the tiger is cool looking.

etsy bitsy cute

I found these little guys on Etsy, but have since lost track of the name of the seller. So we'll just enjoy the adorable plushy felty cuteness for now. Maybe they'll bring us some cheer during the impending Flash Flood Watch.
