I wish all of you (who celebrate Christmas) a wonderful holiday today. And I wish everyone else a wonderful day…just for the hell of it.

Here’s a little grab bag of random things I came across…
Were people really this glowing and happy decades ago?
If you haven’t made a habit of browsing vintage holiday ads the way I have, you might be surprised at the proliferation of firearms.
Ah yes, peace and goodwill toward mankind…isn’t this the true embodiment of the season?
This is my favorite; the basis of yearly holiday photos this time around (no, that’s not my real hair).
Bet you didn’t know orange was a Christmas color. Love the TWO sets of quotation marks, too.
Now this is a gift I would have wanted:
And here’s a gift for the ladies that hovers somewhere between a daisy and a medieval torture device:
Love this shirt from Kawaii Not:
Now for some sexiness…
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!

Sometimes life gives us pleasant synchronicity. I was planning to post my old collection of Russian spaced themed Christmas cards, and woke up to an email from Vlad containing a portion of the cards in my collection…and then some!
I’m not sure why I love the combination of outer space and Christmas so much. Perhaps it’s because if we’re going to celebrate a man who defies the laws of physics, why not go ALL OUT with it?
Wow…a lot going on here…
I could easily use up my image space by posting many more…but I’ll hold off.
See more here.

This is exactly how I’ll be preparing my holiday dinner.

Golden Age Comic Book Stories has an awesome collection of sci-fi Christmas illustrated covers by Ed Emshwiller.
Space helmets on reindeer!
I love this series so much. See the rest here.

Just a few snapshots of odds and ends…
I dug out the holiday lollipops Louisa gave me last year, to find that they had been exposed to too much heat and had melted slightly. This only adds to their greatness.
Santa candle got it too (check out that leg)…
If you’re curious about how Hubert Cumberdale is doing (which you probably are not), he’s enjoying the festivities in his new residence:
And last but not least, we have our nativity scene, SheWalksSoftly style:

And now we have the inanimate Scary Santa results…

At least this one is intentionally freakish…
The Jesus/Santa combo always irks me. Get your myths right, people.
If you actually enjoy looking at things like this, definitely check my posts for Holiday Horror Week ’08:

Here are the living, breathing versions of Santa Claus who showed up in a fun little image search (some are pulled from my old collections). Tomorrow, the non-humans…
I’m not digging this guy’s murderous Charlie Manson glare.
Rob Zombie?
Taken about two seconds before he blacked out from the booze…
The masked Santa always looks like something directly out of a serial killer movie.
Stay tuned…and feel free to contribute more!

I apologize for bringing this album into your life. It’s an item best left for collectors of seriously horrendous oddities.
Something about Woody the Woodchuck is a little bit…off. This album was not produced correctly, giving the whole thing a slightly warped, off key tone. The “speaking” parts sound like they were cobbled together by a manic robot, the singing is often incomprehensible, things move a little too slowly, and you pretty much finish the album relieved that it’s over.
If you finish. Which is unlikely.

This is some of the greatest gift wrap I’ve come across in a while.
I’m almost tempted to just put this in a poster frame on my wall.
In addition, the company was developed for a great cause:
Joey’s Corner is a non-profit design studio within MOD. We provide pro-bono, strategic creative services to non-profit groups focusing on health care, children’s and social well-being issues.
Michael Osborne founded Joey’s Corner in 2006 to honor the memory of his son, Joseph Michael Osborne. At our first fundraiser, Michael and other artists donated artworks for auction. All of our sales on Felt & Wire Shop, including art, will go directly to Joey’s Corner.
