These andromorphic veggies bring up questions. Why is she upside-down? Is he a radish? A purple carrot? An old parsnip? The one thing I can tell with those teeny shorts is that he is NOT a mandrake root. #christmas #holidays #mandrake #vintagecards

With helicopters hovering over my neighborhood so low that they made my house shake for hours today, I decided it is the perfect day to start my bad Christmas movie marathon for the year. Today's choice is of the down to earth royal and plucky blue collar gal fall in love variety. #christmas

Another round of "What did I just see?" Nothing says Christmas like grinning while your drinking buddy drowns in cocoa. Which one balanced his mug on his back after he was gone. Seems rude. #christmas #holidays #cocoa #elf #evilelves #jinglenevercouldhandlehiscocoa
