All I Want For Christmas…
I can’t believe that in the midst of all my whining last week about not being excited about Christmas, no one reminded me about this:
I feel better already!
I think I’m going to learn the moves the background dancers are doing here, because it’s impossible to be depressed when you’re flailing around like you have a bee in your pants. Maybe I’ll also get some go-go boots.
Anyway, after all our talk of not spending so much money on crap no one needs, I thought I’d point out some crap you might consider for those hard-to-shop-for folks on your list.
1. A Shandle. It’s a toilet seat handle. Who doesn’t need one of these things?!?! They have all kinds of cool designs to fit any décor. I bought Wayne the Pimp My Toilet Shandle for his birthday this year.
Oddly, he hasn’t installed it on our toilet yet, but I’m sure he’s just waiting for the right time.
2. Godzilla babies/horror movie extras. I’m pretty sure my secret Santa has better things to do than read this blog, so I feel no qualms about bragging about this awesome combo she’s getting at our office party (which has—praise the Lord—not been cancelled, because it was deemed just too depressing not to do anything). It was a tough call between these guys and the remote control zombie, but come on. In a Godzilla vs. zombie fight, Godzilla is going to win any day. This site also has some other gems, like the yodeling pickle, the inflatable fruitcake, and bacon-flavored dental floss.
3. Those of you with kids may appreciate the opportunity to share the Christmas story and the gift of hygiene with this rubber ducky nativity set.
4. An awesome book for the young adult in your life.
What? It’s our blog. We get to plug our own books if we want to.
5. A Cute Overload calendar. I’m not too proud to admit I check out the site to look at pictures of cute animals several times a week.
6, A jellyfish mood lamp. Because nothing says lovin’ like gelatinous sea creatures.
That should get you started, anyway. Have fun stimulating the economy!
One of my favorite Christmas songs. Bacon flavored floss? I don’t know about that, sounds gross.
I can’t believe Wayne didn’t immediately install his shandle! Has he been trapped under something very heavy?
Dear friends, this is why it’s so hard to shop for Anne every year. So far I have gotten her 1) funny Christian art 2) a Stephen Colbert DVD and a bacon-flavored car air freshener.
And a Bedzaaler! Don’t forget you also got me the Bedazzler!
btw, have I ever told you how much I love that Stephen Colbert DVD? It’s so hilarious. I want to marry Stephen Colbert.
Oh that’s right! And a Bedazzler. Wow…My family is probably over in the corner wondering why they keep getting stupid stuff like books and sweaters.
Hilarious. My sister and her roommate used to do a mean karaoke version of this song. They could even hit the last note.
I am in awe of that fabulous inflatable fruitcake. Perfect!
