Inspired by some Christmas themed balaclavas for dogs, I created a Christmas Elf Balaclava for my husband. He is a good sport when I need him to try on things. He did insist that the jingle bell be removed after posing.

To quote Firefly “A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he’s not afraid of anything”.

A dog version will be available soon.
