It's Beginning To Feel It's Not Like Christmas

Santa Homer

What the heck does Homer Simpson have to do with Christmas? We were up at the garden centre this morning and kept coming across all sorts of odd trinkets and decorations including this mains-powered Homer who was singing his own version of Jingle Bells. You may not be familiar with the version that goes "jingle bells, jingle bells polly-wolly doodle all the way" but it certainly caught my ear.

There was also an array of tiny log cabins and when you opened the little hinged doors you saw various Santas caught in compromising positions. Santa in the bathtub was one thing, but Santa on the toilet with trousers at his ankles was quite another.

How many more gawping days until Christmas?
