Holy Polar Bear on a Harley!

You thought I was kidding! It's a "Motorcycle Bear"!

Aside from the it being in a box decorated with snowflakes, and the gold snowflake emblem on the side of the bike, I'm not sure what this has to do with the holidays. It doesn't even play a holiday song! It plays "Born to be Wild" - which is definitely not in any holiday tune repetoire that I'm aware of.

(As for what bears have to do with Harleys, I am so not touching that one!)

Someone's Idea of Winter Wall Art

It's a patchwork snowman with his Christmas tree and a bunch of birds.

Why anyone would put this up on their wall is beyond me.

For the Fishermen Among Us...

It's "Santa's Gone Fishin'" with "Reel 'em in action"!

Apparently, there are some toy fish inside, in addition to the choking hazard-sized candies. Great for a holiday trip to the E.R.!

Geographically Incorrect

It's the John Deere holiday gift set! For the low Big Lots price of $6.00, you get a John Deere mug, some Nestle hot chocolate and a John Deere 2009 Desk Calendar! WOW!!!

Now, I could understand seeing this in a Big Lots someplace a bit more "agricultural", but in New York??? I doubt half the people who shop in this particular Big Lots even know who/what John Deere is! They probably think he's the "Bob the Builder" of the older kid set.

Is This Door Decor, or...

A festive billboard for a bordello?

If Charlie Brown Shopped at Big Lots

He'd probably buy this tree. Someone's taking the whole "Blue Christmas" thing a bit too seriously, don't ya think?

Don't worry, the $40 price tag is for the hideous full-size "pre-lit tree in urn with clear lights" next to it.

Don't Buy Yellow Snow

An animated dog, peeing on an animated, musical snowman. Just what you wanted, right?

You can see a more detailed picture of this on the Big Lots website here. One has to seriously wonder about the type of minds that came up with this idea.

But Wait...

It's another Elvis sighting!

This time it's a musical Elvis in a Santa suit! He plays "Here Comes Santa Claus" and "Santa Claus Is Back In Town", and it features real Elvis recordings!

Not only that, he also stands on his little stage, then begins to shake his famous hips! WOW!!!

Holy Praying Bunnies, Batman!

(click to enlarge photo)

It's Prayer Rabbit, safe from the dangers of the Briar Patch!!!

A lingerie-wearing Easter bunny, with an added bonus - she PRAYS!!!

Of course, I couldn't resist the summons to "Try Me!", which was boldly emblazoned in red on her left hand, like some kind of backwards stigmata. I wasn't quite prepared for what happened next. Oh, I expected her to pray, like it said on the box. But, what I wasn't expecting was for her cheeks to light up with two bright red lights, like some bizarre Easter version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. "Rosie the Red-Cheeked Rabbit", maybe?

As for praying, no, she doesn't say anything like "Please God, get me out of this stupid outfit before I barf", which is what I would be saying if I were in her shoes. Oh wait, she's not wearing any. No, instead she launches into a long version of "Now I lay me down to sleep..."

No offense to the makers of this little gem, but wouldn't it make a bit more sense to dress her up in something a bit more, ummm... modest? Something which doesn't leave her entire nether regions exposed for all to see, like a born-again Victoria's Secret model?
