My husband and I live in the Steel City of Pittsburgh, which is the ground for three very prominent teams - the Steelers (football), the Pirates (baseball) and the Penguins (hockey). Only one of those three teams has an adorable mascot.

My Santa delivered it to us IN SPADES.

This little penguin is quite possibly the most adorable thing I have ever seen in plush form. Not only is it incredibly huggable, it has the sweetest scarf and the (MERCILESS) most adorable hockey stick in hand to throw back the offense.

I cannot even begin to think how much time and love was put into making this guy. He's sitting and guarding our Christmas tree right now and will probably protect our house from any oncoming offense in the future because frankly he is too cute to handle. Thank you so much, Santa! I LOVE IT!!! Thank you! <3 <3 <3
