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.
