Goose Christmas Shirt Merry Christmas Honk If You Love The Holidays Wreath Plaid Scarf

A ribbon banner curls along the bottom of this design with one small instruction on it: honk if you love the holidays. The goose walking above it already seems to be waiting for an answer. Mid-stride, with a knit beanie topped by a pom-pom and a fringed plaid scarf streaming out behind, it has the look of a bird that has been out in the snow all morning and has no plans to go inside. Most families have someone who talks about Christmas the same way, loudly and well before December. This shirt is for that person.

A Goose Christmas Shirt With a Jingle Bell Wreath and Gingham Bow

Our Merry Christmas goose carries a wreath tucked against its side, dotted with berries, pinecones and tiny jingle bells, and a gingham bow is tied at the bottom. Holly leaves frame the curly Merry Christmas lettering above, and snowflakes drift between the scarf fringe and the hat. A loose ribbon trails off to one side, as if the wind caught it on the walk. Evergreen sprigs with berries sit beside the goose’s feet, which press into a patch of snow. Every piece of the scene belongs to the same winter stroll.

This goose Christmas shirt suits the aunt who hangs the wreath the day after Halloween, or the kid who insists on wearing a scarf indoors. It also fits anyone with a goose collection on the kitchen shelf, since this bird has all the personality of a household mascot. We drew it cheerful without being loud about it, apart from the honking, which is the whole joke. Wear it to the tree farm on a cold Saturday, or to the table where somebody always starts the honking first. The plaid and gingham give it a homespun feel, and the lettering says plainly what the season is. On an evening in late November, when the porch lights go up and the house starts to smell like pine, it settles into the mood without any effort. Paired with jeans and a warm jacket, it looks like it belongs to the weather.

Can This Goose Shirt Still Be Worn After Christmas Day?

The snowflakes, holly and windblown scarf point to winter in general, so the goose keeps fitting the cold weeks that follow the holiday. Only the lettering and the banner mention Christmas by name, and plenty of people keep wearing the shirt through January for the scarf and the snow.

Somewhere near that ribbon banner the goose is still mid-stride, waiting to hear who honks back.
