Now THIS is SCARY!

Gingerbread Goose

From the product description on Amazon.com:

Take a gander at this wintertime pal! Our charming goose sports a cheery felt and cotton costume...collectors of gingerbread and geese will find her irresistible. Perch her in the entryway to greet visitors or add a little holiday cheer to the kitchen. Made of resin. (10-1/4"H)
No offense, but if I walked into someone's house and this was there to greet me, I'd not only be running out the door really fast, but I'd be seriously questioning our friendship. Posted by Picasa

A Holiday Wish for Everyone

This used to air every year on our oldies station, until it got taken over by JACK-FM.

Listening to it has been a holiday tradition for me. If you click on the "Real Audio" button, you can hear it as Harry Harrison recorded it for radio.The words on the page don't do it justice.

May You Always

And, for your holiday bathroom...

Holiday Tank/Tissue Covers - The Lakeside Collection

Covers feature pockets, built right into them, on the top that are just the right size for a box of tissue or other decorative items.

And exactly what "other decorative items" would one put there??? Posted by Picasa

Speak No Evil

Why don't Mary and Baby Jesus have mouths? Why is Joseph the only one with a fully-formed face?

Also, is it me, or does Baby Jesus look an awful lot like Davey from "Davey & Goliath"Posted by Picasa

CSI: Bethlehem

Click the picture to view full-size
Tonight's episode: "Joseph Got Run Over by a Reindeer"

Grissom and the CSI team investigate the apparent hit-and-run death of Joseph, head of Bethlehem's notorious "Holy Family", and father of Jesus, aka "The Newborn King".

At first glance, his death appears to have been the result of a random accident. However, the evidence just doesn't make sense. What was the white, powdery substance found all over the crime scene? What was Rudolph "The Red Nose" Reindeer, a long-time member of Santa's crime syndicate doing in Bethlehem, thousands of miles away from the North Pole? Were Balthasar, Gaspar and Melchior, aka "The Three Wise Men" really just following a star, or did they have other, more sinister motives? And what about Tony "The Little Drummer Boy" Esposito?

Tune in tonight for the crime that changed Christmas forever! Posted by Picasa

You Have to Hear it to Believe it!

Tiny Tim's Christmas Album - definitely one of the worst Christmas albums I've ever heard!

Go ahead! Be brave and click on the link to hear samples. I dare ya! My personal favorite is "What a Friend We Have in Jesus".

If listening to this doesn't make you want to poke out your eardrums with sharp, pointed objects, nothing will! Posted by Picasa

Not the World's Brightest Idea

The Snowman Family Campfire!

Frosty, while under the influence of certain controlled substances, decided that a family campfire would be a good idea.

Funeral services for the Snowman Family will be held tomorrow morning.

Visions of Sugarplums???

Click the picture to view full-size
No. Today, we have visions of grapes! And a rather nightmarish vision it is, too!

It looks like someone had one too many glasses of wine, and decided to recycle their Halloween decorations by adding some festive fairy wings and a bunch of dollar store grapes. Definitely not something I'd want hanging on my Christmas tree!

And check out that crab in the background. Have you ever heard of Christmas Crabs??? No??? Neither have I!

The Island of Misfit Toys

These look like the Christmas decorations the Halloween Town people made in Tim Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas"!

Take a closer look at the snowman's face:

Mr. Snowman needs to find himself a good orthodontist! Why on earth would anyone decorate their home with this crap? DUHHH! I forgot! No one does - that's why it's on sale at Home Goods! Posted by Picasa

Kitty Christmas Outfits Gone Bad

Click the picture to view full-size
This is what happens when pet lovers decorate while smoking a batch of bad catnip - a crown-wearing cat with hands in a Christmas dress.

It looks like something straight out of a bad acid trip. What it has to do with Christmas (or any other holiday for that matter) is beyond me! Posted by Picasa

One of My Favorites from Last Christmas

Click the picture to view full-size
For the benefit of those who missed out on this one from Big Lots last year, here it is again!

Joseph is wearing way too much blush. (Someone really needs to talk to him about that!) Plus, you can stick a candle inside his butt to make him light up. Notice the placement of the stars on both Mary and Joseph. This is just so wrong, on so many levels. Posted by Picasa
