We had one of these when I was growing up, and it was one of my favorite Christmas decorations:
I know... ugly, right? But it's one of my favorite Christmas decorating memories. That's why I've been asking Mom to send it to me since moving away from home. She hasn't been able to find it, which means she did not have the same emotional attachment to it that I did. This is when I'm glad for ebay* -- I was able to find the lovely plastic monster you see above for $12.99. The funny part: it shipped from West Seneca, NY which is very close to my parents' house. I wonder if the woman who sold it bought it from my Mom's yard sale?
*Yes, even though the CEO was a McCain campaign advisor.
Also, I thought I would take this opportunity to show everyone P's and my Christmas tree. I am including two photos below. The first is blurry, but I find it funny because Sheila is staring at the camera. She won't do that normally -- only when you are trying to get a picture of something you don't want her in.
From both photos, you can tell the cats like to play on the tree skirt. And you can see Cole in the back. He's the black lump.
Cheers!
