Remember in ” A Christmas Story ” how Ralphie gets hit in the eye with an icicle?

Do you  know that those things can get you underwater too?

:::This is a great idea:::

LONDON, Dec. 14 (UPI) — Workers in London paid to offer poor Christmas present wrapping services through CrapWrap say customers will get exactly what they expect. Wrapper Kevin Smith said those who decide to pay for the $5.90 holiday service from Firebox.com will receive a gift wrapped with little or no skill so any individual can claim to have wrapped it themselves, The Mail on Sunday reported.

Just in case you’re stuck for something to give to that person who has everything may I suggest…

Fishy Flip Flops!

You don’t even have to wrap them in Christmas paper…you can wrap them in newspaper and make your ” greenie” friends happy- which is exactly what you should be doing over the Christmas Holidays anyway.

found this awesome Christmas song..enjoy

I’ve bought the most awesome pair of snowboots EVER.

They are black and white and stylish and according to the tag will keep my tootsies warm in below freezing temperatures.

Of course that means one thing: its NOT going to snow this year again, not so much as a single flake.

You’re Welcome

I suppose.

These are for my friends who are stuck somewhere staring into their phones or laptops on their way to somwhere else.

Of course, I am sitting at home scarfing yummy holiday snacks and listening to some cool holiday tunes- but we can’t all be me ( which my Mom will tell you PROVES there is a God ).

So enjoy the ‘toons and be safe where ever you are

 I turned a corner and I saw the strangest thing

In the corner of my eye

and when I turned my head

it was gone

(I took these photos at the Royal BC  Musuem In Victoria, BC )

I was going to write this little post about Thanksgiving and what the Holidays mean to me. I was going to talk about how I lost the Holiday Spirit after the death of my nephew and my cat Wolfgang.

It was an interesting idea- but then I had this image of people passed out on their couches with their phones in their hands, barely able to read because they can’t even move their eyes from left to right.

I could see, clear as day,  that nameless person with dried gravy stuck to the corner of their mouth mumbling in a pumpkin pie induced stupor as they stare into the window to the universe through a small screen in their hand,-“

” Black Friday Oh God Black Friday its coming…make it stop God Make it stop…”

So I thought, why put the effort into entertaining a Zombie ( which can be fun, come to think of it ) when I could be out there talking to  my husband while he makes me his amazing pancakes?

He laughs at my stupid jokes and when I start talking about weird stuff -like when does he think they’ll come up with cell phones that they can surgically implant into the human body- he doesn’t even blink.

He just talks to me about it like I am a regular person.

That’s right, I agree, time to get into that kitchen.

Laugh On Everybody.

Christmas is coming and it is time for me to ask for that impossible to get present.

In the past I have asked for a Fiji Mermaid, a Shrunken Head and a Straight Jacket.

I asked for those things because I thought they were cool and unusual.

 

The thing of it is, nobody thinks that stuff is strange or unusual anymore thanks in part to those emo and goth kids. Because like it or not they put all that sideshow stuff into the mainstream. Sorry punkins, but when you  go to the Mall to hang out or put your look together you are not on the fringe or cutting edge of anything.

You have put a crimp into my Holidays.

I hate crimps.

I don’t even like the way that word sounds.

 

 

So this year I am going to ask for a sweaters with cats on them and stuff for my kitchen and those fluffy bedroom slippers- purple ones that are NOT shaped like animals.

And I am going to ask for those things, beg for those gifts, write and wish and hint for those presents

NON-STOP

because after years and years and years of asking for b0dy parts in jars and vintage  (read USED funeral equipment) I have a sneaky feeling that asking for stuff that comes already gift wrapped from KMART or Fred Myers will totally freak out my friends and family.

I am SO going to enjoy the Holiday Season.

It’s going to be a scream.
