Christmas Countd…

The Manger really ties together all Christmas decor, reminding us that through all the tinsel, red and green orbs, and flashing lights, Jesus is at the center of the Holiday.

Bacon + Manger = Banger? (with a hard "j" sound)

Here, at the Meativity Scene, though, a bacon-wrapped cocktail weenie is at the center of the Holiday. No wonder it always gets stolen from town centers!

TWO days left ’til Christmas. What new seasonal images will I come up with for tomorrow’s post? Check and see!

Christmas Countdow.

4 days until a bearded stranger descends through your chimney and sneaks into your living room with a sackful of gifts. He might take some cookies that you leave out on the table, too. If that’s not enough to creep you out, here’s this gem I reaped from the Internet:

Holly Jolly

And the bacon I told you about… It’s not quite ready, check back tomorrow. Happee Hollidaze, Humans.

Christmas Countdown

To commemorate Christmas, I will be hosting a countdown, right here. For the next five days be good boys and girls and check back here for some humorous holiday pics.

A very thrifty Christmas

This picture is enrapturing: It shows that all you need around the holidays is a sense of humor. You don’t need a lot of lights, your neighbor does. You just have to be creative.

More to come tomorrow… Do I smell bacon?

New Holiday Products

Well, Christmas is in two weeks, or Chanukkah (Sokol, Jordan, Adam)… Naturally, a new slew of products are on the market, just in time for the holidays.

Some of these products which I’ve seen advertised are awesome – they really seem like they’d make life easier. I was watching the Food Network last night, and Pyrex was commercials were aplenty. They’ve made a hybrid cheese-grater/measuring cup, so you know how much cheese you have for your ‘dillas or whatever it is you’re making.

thacant approves this product

Pyrex has also released a hybrid whisk/bowl scraper. So when you’re trying to mix a bunch of stuff together, you can make sure you get it all, and that no un-mixed products linger on the side of the bowl. Check it:

also, thacant-approved

Craftsman tool company also has a new slew of products out for the holidays. Because men love building shit. There’s a single tool with sixteen commonly-used ratchets all in one, with no need to change ratchet heads.

There’s a drill with a “delicate” setting – so leave it on regular power when you’re drilling huge pieces of wood to other huge pieces of wood, but when you have to put a shelf in the bathroom for your wife, switch it to low.

But what confounds me the most about the Craftsman company is how bold they are – their audacity. Craftsman went ahead and reinvented the hammer. That’s right. The hammer.

Remember Jesus? His foster-father, Joseph, was a carpenter. He used hammers. This was over two-thousand years ago. Now, as we’re rounding out the last year of the first decade of the twenty-first century, Craftsman tells us we’ve been doing the hammer wrong.

wrong

right

Anyways. Merry Christmas, Chappy Hanaka, Kwanzaa.
