Most of my viewers would not see how this vase could have a funny Christmas story behind it. One year my best friend handed me my Christmas gift, and her husband said, ” Now you got a peacock vase.” He knew I collected peacock things.He thought it was a peacock on the vase, but it is plain to see that there is a crane on the vase, not a peacock. This man was disappointed that the picture was a crane, and not of a peacock. He told me I could take it back,, but I loved the thoughts of them trying to get me something with a peacock on it, even though it has a crane on it. I will always cherish this vase. The feelings behind this gift will always hold a special part in my heart.
I do not think I have posted anything about my crane vase in the past.

It is being misunderstood or overlooked by the giver’s hubby.
yes, you are right, but the thought made me feel good.
That is where the funny thing comes in. Isn’t it?
peacocks really just have the tail thing, but cranes have it all happening
It’s all about the reason for the season, love and kindness.
The story really made me smile, and that’s a beautiful vase!
You are right Alex! My best friend’s husband I think tried to help his wife pick it out, not know truly what a peacock looks like lol.
Wonderful vase … I think every gift is nice if given to us from the heart
Yes, vidocka I agree with you.
beautiful story and vase.
Thank you Branka for commenting.
Lovely story and a lovely vase, too. Although the cranes do not look anything like peacocks, they are beautiful, especially on a vase.
Thank you, Ann Hartley, for commenting. Cranes do not look like peacocks, that was why it is so funny,
