Why I Oughta...

Here's a close-up of the new visitors to our front lawn.   Here's the same guys who were around last year . Looks like there's someone new, eh?

Yesterday, I showed off just one of my two Christmas-related buys at this Estate Sale in our neighborhood.   The vintage Santa and Mrs. Claus rocking-chairs were a hit with Nat.  And so was this set of figures who are getting ready to lob some snowballs. They were $2.50 for the pair and the box was in great shape.  The neatest part?  The bottom is stamped with "Japan" and NOT as we'd see today:  China.

Got them for 'half-off' at an estate sale recently.  They're pretty cute, but I took a gamble that Nat would dig them because I was there alone.  At 2 for $0.25, I couldn't go wrong. They'll look fun up on top of our piano this holiday season, won't they?

This guy was just screaming to me at Menards.  I just had to take him home before they sold out.  We already have the Santa and one reindeer, so I figured it was time to add a second to the herd.  Clark W. Griswold had them in his front yard ( see them here at the beginning of the video ), so if they're good enough for him, they're good enough for the Parrillos!
