@wtfox?!: I also wonder if this "He did not say if he was planning to take action against the products resurrected this year." was the writer of the article having a little fun with puns :)#christmas
I love ornaments to a degree that frightens the Spacehusband. My mother is even worse. I am shocked and appalled that I do not receive this catalog and am immediately going to their web site to sign up for it.
Then I am emailing a friend to get my copy of the Hallmark Dreambook for this year.
Then I am going to start looking for a new apartment because my husband will surely be leaving me after this holiday season.
I fully support the acquisition and display of insane Christmas ornaments. My husband and I have turned it into a tradition every year where we try to find the stupidest, most ridiculous ornament for the other person we can.
I think last year, I got him a doctor fish. Like, a fish. Except dressed up as a doctor. For no reason. I suppose it would be meaningful to either a sick fisherman or an aquatic veterinarian, but my husband is neither. Thus, funny.
We have all manner of crap on our tree, from fishing ornaments to guitars to actual religous stuff. It even has a parachuting Santa, and a number of moon shaped face things. We love it.
If there's Christmas in heaven, does that mean that there's also (Christian) church in heaven? And when the congregation sings "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again!" does Jesus jump out from behind a potted plant or something and say, "Yo guys! I'm already here!" and does the whole crowd laugh, and does Jesus laugh also? Is church a really funny inside joke/game of pretend?
I live about an hour & a half away from Bronners, The Store (tm). I'm thinking pilgrimage this year. I don't think I've been there since I was 10. I'll pass on the Zenders chicken though (last time I was in Frankenmuth we went to a microbrewery to eat and I had the most amazing cheddar ale soup).
The sooldier ornament looks like "Mission Accomplished" era Dubya. You stay classy Christmas tree.
Heh, every year when I was little, I got my own ornament, so now we have little Oreo people, Winnie the Pooh, etc. hangin' on our tree at home. CLEARLY I have to continue this tradition with that pirate ship. AVAST!
Am I the only one who saw this and was hoping for festive holiday-themed items inscribed with the Rabbi Hillel's Moral ABC taught to Carpenter Jesus? "Listen Children! Eternal Father! Eternal One! Exceptions eternally? Absolute None! Enjoy the fountain of eternal health/wealth/happiness from this lovely cut-glass punch bowl!"
