Wreck The Halls
Another year/another look at some of the finest holiday trinkets a thrift store has to offer unload!
vvvvvvvvvvvvvv
I’m almost certain that the face is based upon that of another fictional, stand-in mom.

It was difficult trying to choose just one image from this ‘spread’. Click on the picture to see my other favorite (YES – It’s BONUS DAY!)

December 15, 2009 at 11:49 am

December 15, 2009 at 12:49 pm

December 15, 2009 at 2:40 pm
NO ONE wants to see those pictures again!!!
December 15, 2009 at 5:11 pm
Yeah! The twelve days of Christmas again! Loved this last year and looking forwards to another dose of festive tackiness

Oh, would be perfect for Aperture’s year-end appeal!
December 15, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Thanks Michiko. Now the pressure’s on!
December 15, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Just wait. Tacky will become an understatement!
December 15, 2009 at 10:15 pm
I’ll do my best to keep you visually satisfied.
December 15, 2009 at 10:19 pm
It’s a Wonderful Life all over again…helping an angel that’s fallen to get back up. Mrs. Fletcher would be so proud!
December 15, 2009 at 10:22 pm
how about after you finish wrecking the halls?
December 15, 2009 at 10:37 pm
EXCELLENT. Something to look forward to. It will be the perfect cure for the post-holiday blues!

Oh here we go again. My secret twisted inner twin is already beginning to chuckle knowing what’s coming. Did she have a hand in raising you or was it that Grandmother of yours? Bonnie is smiling in anticipation so don’t let her down!
December 16, 2009 at 11:00 am
My dearly departed grandmother (and yes, she was twisted-that’s why I loved her) guides my equally twisted vision every day!
December 16, 2009 at 11:24 am
i so get that
December 16, 2009 at 1:43 pm
I love knowing I can still find your creative insanity out here in the middle of the Pacific. Mele Kelikimaka Angel !
December 16, 2009 at 1:44 pm
YEAH! So good to see your words!!! I bet it’s not cold and muddy where you are.
December 16, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Since I pretty much do all of this one-day-at-a-time, there may be instances where I will need to edit/update an image for continuity. That said, DAY 01 has new text.

HA! You were right about Mary’s expression…she’s almost got an eye-roll going on.
December 17, 2009 at 12:27 am
I’d like to comment on Mary by saying, she’s not that hot. God must have like her for her personality….
December 17, 2009 at 12:42 am
Perhaps it’s the fact that she looks an awful lot like Charlotte Rae (Mrs. Garrett – FACTS OF LIFE)!!!
December 17, 2009 at 12:52 am
And the eye-roll is followed by, “grumble grumble…Immaculate conception?…grumble grumble…Son of Who?…grumble grumble…Born in a barn? (I don’t think so)…grumble grumble…HEY! GABRIEL! Annunciate THIS!…Hmpf! Jesus Smeezus.”

or her strong hips

I feel guilty laughing at the Virgin Mother.

Catholic?
December 17, 2009 at 9:21 am
So this is where these finds ended up? Hmm, interesting treasure finding a Carol Burnett character look-a-like who could not paint a staight lippy line made the “Tacky” holiday parade count down. Where did I go wrong?
December 17, 2009 at 9:31 am
Wrong? Nah. I just learned to look at things from a darker point of view. You have your mother to
blamethank for that!December 17, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Santa Baby! LOL
December 18, 2009 at 12:34 am
Oh my eyes! My eyes!! But, you could bounce a quarter…or a lump of coal… off that ass.

He is rather ‘toned’ for a man of his age.
December 18, 2009 at 10:36 am
Thomas — I love your photographs and want to hang them in my home. Where can I buy one? Do you cost a fortune?
December 18, 2009 at 9:31 pm
a little gift sitting in my inbox every day. thank you, tom.
December 18, 2009 at 9:38 pm
You’re welcome. Imagine them wrapped and in your mailbox everyday!
December 19, 2009 at 1:15 am
OMG, I hope the Vatican doesnt see this, you’ll be, at BEST, relegated to purgatory [limbo] surrounded by pagan babies, for eternity!
December 19, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Oh T, you are bringing a tear to my eye I am laughing so hard.
December 20, 2009 at 12:56 am
Drink plenty of fluids. I’m just warming up!
December 20, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Santa damn well better wash his hands before he comes to my house.
December 22, 2009 at 7:47 am
I’m sure I’ll be in good company.
December 23, 2009 at 11:33 am
Loving them! Keep them coming!
Thanks!
