We’re closing in on Christmas, and no, I still haven’t done any decorating. Doesn’t mean I don’t admire the ingenuity shown by other people. Maybe next year I’ll use some of these ideas.

So what if Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie? It happens at Christmas, so that counts! Don’t piss off John McClane, though.

I have a cousin who researches Bigfoot (seriously), and he’d probably love this.

OK, this one I would do because I’m a big geek and I’d like to exterminate humbug. No one’s better at extermination than a Dalek.

If I were ever to make one, this would be it. I don’t have the patience for a traditional one.

The beauty of this one is that it’s perfect for the lazy; just add eyeballs and a tree skirt, and you’re done.

Speaking of cars being in odd and unexpected places, many years ago I was hiking on the Ozark Highlands Trail near Ozone. I was about a mile or two from the nearest road (paved or unpaved) which was state highway 21 when I saw what used to be a car about ten feet from the trail. The car looked as if it had been manufactured before I was born. I am still trying to figure out how that car got there in the first place.

It’s the Ozarks. Cars tend to show up in weird places. 😉

And, speaking of Bigfoot, many years ago on the cover of the program for the local science fiction convention, there was a picture of the Fouke Monster wearing a propeller beanie on its head. No I do not remember who drew that picture.

I think I’ve seen that. I don’t know who did it either.

Is the term “Bigfoot” a case of body shaming? I guess “small hands” would qualify, also.

I dunno. My youngest brother never seemed inordinately shamed by it.
I’m going with “tiny hands” … started to say “baby”but don’t want to insult babies.

Love the tree with the eyeballs. Although even that is one tree more than I bother with. I used to settle for red bows on the front garage lights. Now I don’t even do that.

Right there with you. It’s just too much trouble for one person.
