As much as I loved Thanksgiving this year, I am not terribly motivated to get in the Christmas spirit. Jeremy pulled our little tinsel trees out of the basement - they sat on our dining room table, with the branches all folded up, for days. It took all the energy I had to simply unfold and spread them out.
But it did cheer me up to see our little Christmas monster. A few years ago as we pulled the trees out of the basement this little guy was attached to the top of the silver tree. I still have no idea how he got there (I had never even seen him before I spotted him on this tree) but that's where he lives now. He comes out once a year with that gnarly smile and says "Fuck yeah, it's Christmastime, bitches!" (Pardon his foul language - as enthusiastic as he is about Christmas he is still a monster afterall.)
I'm loving me some monster right now -
ReplyDeletelet me know if he can come visit around the second week or so of February next year....

When I was a kid I made the most hideous ornament out of popsicle sticks and glitter and crap and my mom always put it up to be nice. Through the years my brothers and I just made it our business to hang the thing up in the most prominent place on the tree. It became a symbol of the holiday season. We like to revolve our holidays around mockery, I guess.
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas monster! I need to blog about my prized Rudolph skull.

delurking just because I find this so hilarious. we're currently struggling with what to put on top of our tree (no stars or angels) and have settled for a hat the past few years. I may have to find a "fuck yeah it's christmas!" monster
ReplyDeleteAnna - The monster will be hibernating again in February. But he'll send you his love.
ReplyDeleteFrancine - I love how traditions like the grow over time.

I'm pretty sure I'm feeling kind of blah about Christmas, too. But I really dig your monster, K.
ReplyDeleteMonster love!
ReplyDeleteThat is the most awful yet awesome looking thing I've ever seen on top of a Christmas tree. I'd be afraid it would jump down and attack me at night. heebie jeebie central. But I do sorta like it.
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas tree monster, foul language and all!
ReplyDeleteI love that monster and his filthy little mouth. Me and him would get along just fine!
