Frosty Meets Liberace

Why is Frosty wearing Santa's Vegas suit?

Someone needs to tell him that snowmen and sequins just don't mix.

Need a Way to Hide Your Cheap Booze?

Buy a set of holiday-themed "Novelty Bottle Labels"!

With names like "Reindeer Fuel", "mistle-tonic" and "Elf Nog", your friends will never know it's not the good stuff!

Island of Misfit Decorations

These are just a few of the festive items available in the holiday decor section of my local Deal$ store. It looks more like the Island of Misfit Decorations, as more people pick through items and leave stuff broken and tossed around on the shelves.

It looks like the aftermath of a Harrow's "Day After Christmas Sale". Remember those? My sister and I went to our local Harrow's (which, coincidentally, is located almost right next-door to our favorite Big Lots) to look at their holiday items. We had one word for it - scary! It didn't look anything like this.

Not sure who would want a blue metal tabletop tree. I'm sure there's someone, though. I wasn't sure who'd want all the 18 inch tabletop foil trees, either, until I saw a woman walking out with a shopping cart full of the things. Glad I'm not on her Christmas list!

Manger in a Box

Actually, it's an "8 pc Mini Nativity Set", yours for only ONE whole dollar! It's really mini, too. It would be perfect if you wanted a Manger on the front lawn of your Barbie's Dream House, but that's about it.

This may be cute, but in my house, "8 pc Mini Nativity Set" = "8 New Cat TOYS!". Somehow, I don't think the mini Holy Family would appreciate being covered in cat spit.

And for the Latest in Holiday Door Decor...

To go with your "Frosty Does the Holidays" collection, we have these gorgeous new snowman doorknob covers!

I'm guessing that these are not for doorknobs that you actually plan on turning, as Frosty's nose might get in the way of such efforts. Definitely not for the bathroom door, that's for sure!

If You Thought Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree Was Sad...

These "ornaments" are even sadder! Crocheted Christmas trees to put on your Christmas tree. I wonder who thought of that?

After the holidays, you can use them as doilies.

The Nutcracker That Ate Bethlehem

Funny, I didn't even know they had nutcrackers in Bethlehem!

This one looks like it's getting ready to eat Baby Jesus for dinner! Notice Mary's melodramatic pose and facial expression.

Joseph, meanwhile, looks like he's blessing them both. Or is that Moses having a senior moment, trying to part the Red Sea?

Jesus was a Blonde???

Either that, or the Holy Family's got one heck of a case of hepatitis!

And, if you look real close (by clicking to enlarge the image) you can see that Baby Jesus appears to be wearing a bit of Revlon Red.

Another one from the "Baby Jesus in a Snowglobe" collection.

Rock Around The Clock

I understand some people get totally into the holidays, but a Christmas Carol Clock???

By "12 Traditional Carols", I'm guessing that "Dominic The Donkey" and "Christmas Shoes" ain't on the list, thankfully. Fortunately, it has a darkness sensor so you're not waking up to "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" at 3am.

Something tells me that by or before December 10th, this clock gets ripped off the wall in most homes.

Oh, Holy Night!

It's the entire Christmas story artfully depicted on a "scalloped lace tablecloth"!

I don't know about you, but I would feel just a teeny bit uncomfortable plonking down the platter of Christmas ham right smack on top of Baby Jesus' head.

Besides, whose holiday table is this devoid of stuff??? Do the people in this family only eat on one side of the table so they can gaze lovingly at their new tablecloth???

I think it's pretty funny that there's a note on the package stating that the accessories in the photo are not included. Although, I'm sure there's someone out there that would want their $5 back because the dishes and flatware weren't in there. There's always one!

This is Just Sad

This is supposed to be a door decoration. Is it just me, or does it look like a cheap toilet bowl cover? It's so cheap, the snowman can't afford a mouth!

As an added bonus, after Christmas is over, it can be used as a Frisbee.

I wonder if this is one of the projects featured on the "Wreaths" Christmas Crafts DVD?

Now I Really HAVE Seen Everything!

Answer Me Jesus - For those times when a plain, old Magic 8-Ball just won't cut it.

Personally, I'd love to hear what Jesus has to say about the person who decided he'd look great in hot pink.

It's the Easter Bunny, Charlie Brown!

Cross-dressing, inter-species style.

Barbie and the Easter Bunny play dress-up in each other's clothes.
