Ahh I see Santa traded his slay for a hot new bird.

Heck he even took a shave, Santa is going commercial I see or is that he's delivery team?

Lovely shots. Very crisp I must say.

Hi Larry

Have several different types of tuques with matching scarves and here are several interesting Links if folks wish to read them....

What is a Toque?

The word "tuque" is a common spelling error of the french word "toque" which means cap or hat.

The word tuque/ toque was adapted in the English vocabulary in Canada as a result of the French Canadian influence. Originally a wool hat designed to provide warmth in winter, today tuques come in several different variations. Most tuques are tapered; they sometimes have ear flaps, and may be topped with a pom-pom, this style of tuque is sometimes referred to as a boggan or sherpa. Tuques may have a folded brim, or none, and may be worn tightly fitting the head or loose on top although the latter is considered more standard

Where do you think I got my knowledge of it? One must stay on their toes around you.


One has to love the different spellings of touque/tuque/toque...

Thanks Larry...

I very seldom wear a hat outside during the summer or winter, now the old girl will wear a summer hat and a winter hat depending on the weather.

We walk quite early in the morning and sometimes a hour prior to sunset.

Never found there was much need for a ball cap or any other type of headgear.

I had a grandson tell me the other day that some of the boys and girls wear ball caps at school and the teacher has told them wearing a hat all the time will make their hair fall out.
His mother does not want him wearing a ball cap all the time either and she has told him the same thing...

Not sure about that one...

Our parents used to tell us using Brylcreem on our hair would eventually make our hair fall out also...

They used to call the airforce lads here Brylcreem Boys because a lot of them had their hair slicked down with Brylcreem.
I think that is why the airforce wore caps so as to save on flying headsets...hmmm....sounds good to me...

I wonder if it is just a fad or craze kids go through?

Very clever Larry.

Neat 8-)
