Junk Christmas?

100_3883.JPGI am faced with a dilemma. I'm doing the junk blog posts and I haven't finished the crap in my button box, but I note that it's getting colder outside? The month has changed to December? I have to think about buying stuff for the people that are close to me. I have to give them a list of things I may be able to use. (Water filters, foot pads, more tubs for more junk.) Yes, the cheery Christmas season. So what do I do? I still have button box posts! Okay, I'll keep you waiting for those Mr. T air fresheners. However, I really don't have Christmas junk because it all comes out once a year. Only a few decorations without arms or legs are left from my display. Those are junk. Everything else I use for Christmas by definition on this blog, is not really junk. It makes my tree look "pretty" for a month and then gets put back into storage. Okay, so, consider these at Junk Blog Bonus posts for the holidaze. Technically not junk because they are used once a year and kept because of the memories involved. Okay.  I have stories about some of the junk on the tree that has been covered by previous blogs because, well, lots are name tags and key chains. Okay. All right. For the next few posts, enjoy the Christmas junk.

100_3884.JPGThis is a good one to start with. It's random junk. I keep this in my display as a clearing house for bits of Christmas crap that really have no other place. The "tub" was given full of candy as a Merry Christmas gift at one of my gigs. It's a Dollar store Christmas soap dish so you can keep your ceramic snowman clean. It has to be very very could water and he'll actually grow as it freezes upon him. Wow! He's a wafer thin snowman wash cloth that expands when in water. Made in China. Good for 1/2 of a wipe until it falls apart. Fun characters like Scooby Doo or Dora The Explorer will expand for you and promptly be thrown away by your parents. 

100_3885.JPG Third view. There just isn't too much to say. Milk Bone? I have no idea why I have it but I put it out every year. I have no pets so it's lasted. I think the snowman is some sort of a post topper because it has nylon threads underneath.  The light bulb is blue. Replacement lamp. Blue. I think I have a string of lights that still works that may need a LED light someday.  Yes, this is truly a tub of junk, but it comes out every year and lies hidden at the back of my tree. I need to make something happen to end this entry. Hmmm. I'll be creative.

100_3886.JPGWARNING: TOILET HUMOR AHEAD---- Arrrrgggggg! *splasssshhh*  We've all had doots like this! Long dry force outs that really amaze by sheer volume. Oh mannnnnn. No toilet tissue needed after, maybe a flush-able wipe to dap the area. Make sure it's clean back there. See? The Satellite Of Love came out of the nice ceramic snowman. (The SOL always looked like a milk bone right?) Okay, so it's not that funny. X-Mas Junk. -Ric
