So, last night I tried to watch the Charlie Brown special... →[More:]

...but I kept falling asleep! (This isn't a reflection on Charlie Brown, I was just really really tired.) I revived in time to watch the Victoria's Sectret fashion show. I know those girls are too skinny, but damn, it's still free soft core porn, man. Anyway, I decorated the tree to it, drank wine, and went to bed.

I wish you guys could all come over and admire the tree. We'd build a fire in the fireplace and have nog 'n' stuff.

I decorated the tree to it.

Now there's a euphemism I haven't heard before.

I'll never look at carelessly tossed popcorn garlands quite the same way again.

so anyway, there I was, "decking the halls", if you know what I mean...

I was going to write something rather obvious about hanging shiny balls and then finish up with a joke about "topping," but then I got caught up thinking about how Charlie Brown's tree is really symbolic of a fear of aging (ie: erectile dysfunction) and how they should really sell Viagra ads during the show, but then I realized that following the show with the Victoria's Secret fashion show was pretty much the same thing, only without the priapism. What were we talking about? Oh, yeah - time to take my meds.

I was going to say something about balls of holly, but then I read It's Raining Florence Henderson's post and decided not to.

I would (it's so pretty!), but your girl don't have a digital camera. Maybe Santa will bring me one if I'm a good girl...

Flo, you're making me giggle.

I'm so happy that penises still make us laugh. It would be a sad world if not for that.

One Christmas I received a Pickle ornament.

My dear squirrel: my aunt has always followed the tradition of the Christmas Pickle. Why, just a few days ago, we hid it in her tree! No lie!

(Why is it that now everything in this thread sounds perverted?)

Or balls of Holly.

Holly came from Miami FLA
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, deck the halls with balls of Holly,
Said, hey honey, come decorate my tree.

Holly Johnson, from FGTH? Makes me want to run around with a shoulder-held spotlight held, uh, on my shoulder.

Well, at least you didn't hide it in her bush.

I have no idea what you're talking about. ;)

I'm getting 'file transfer unavailable' for the last one which serves me right because I have the CD just over *there*, but fyi, anyway.

posted by Specklet 07 December | 16:48

Weird, I uploaded it again and got the same error. Huh.
