Yesterday, I went to a delightful ornament exchange party. We played that game where you can steal someone else’s ornament after they open it. I always love how the ladies are quite polite at first and then lose all manners and sophistication as one of those damn sweet Snowbabies are unwrapped.
MINE!!!!!
Not me, though. Of course not.
My choice grew on me. At first, I’ll be honest, it scared me a little. As the game went on and I cradled Santa’s head in my lap and stroked his oh-so-soft beard, I became very attached.
Do you think it’s weird to hang him on my rear view mirror? The only reason I ask is because it seemed to upset the kids. They got out of the car extremely fast this morning when I dropped them at school.
Oh, well.
One more question before you go…Do you talk to your pets on the phone? Mind you, I don’t call and ask for them specifically but for example just this week I’ve spoken to Lillian twice on the phone.
Weird?

If I had that dog, I’d talk to her every day. I soooooo miss my Dane. 20 years after she died. Between you and TxPoppet and Bossy, it’s making me think I need to start working on Mr. Hot now.

OMG!! I just clicked over & started scrolling down to see what’s been posted in the last couple days (I’ve lost a few days this week.) But then I got to the pix of your Lilian and OMG! she could be my Merit’s sister. Dude, not only would I talk to my dog on the phone (doesn’t happen often, but is not unheard of) I would call and talk to your dog too!!!
Your pix made me want to go home & give Merit big loves RIGHT NOW. (I’m at work) I’m sure DD2 is laying on her pulling her ears as I write, so that will have to do till later.

Well, it’s weird in that I don’t talk to my cat – but I’m not an animal “person” per say.
But I happen to know a lot of people who do call and talk to their animals. So you’re in good company anyway. ;-)

Nobody tried to steal that Santa? i can’t imagine!
Do you have a Great Dane? I wanna see!!
My hubs goes out of town a lot and the dog pouts without him. So when he calls he talks to her on the phone. Her ears flick around, it’s funny!

Jason and I totally talk to Magerk on the phone. In fact, since Jason has been away for the past two weeks, he talks to her almost everytime he calls. Maybe it is weird but I really believe that Magerk misses us and enjoys our talks. Perhaps that went a bit far…
It’s only weird if you think my cat talking to my mother’s cat on speakerphone is weird!
That Santa? He’s a bit scary. No. He’s a LOT scary!
That’s Santa? That’s rather creepy, I don’t blame your kids for hurridly getting out of the car! :P I’ve talked to Puddy on the phone before but she doesn’t really talk much.

Is it really Santa or the head of the genie in a bottle?
I have forced Josh to talk on the phone to our dogs. I don’t think the dogs get it.
That Santa head is weird and creepy AND I don’t see how you can see while you are driving. But if it makes you happy, keep it there.
Miz S’s last blog post..Hi.
Your Santa creeps me out, too! (This coming from a guy who, as a kid, was scared of the flying monkeys in Wizard of Oz, so consider the source.)
You also might consider that it’s a cop magnet. Block your vision, get a ticket. (!)
Uhm. You have a decapitated Santa. And his head is dangling from your car mirror like something out of a Tolkien book. But that’s not wierd. We’ll say it’s Christmasy.

You crack me up. I’m pretty sure everyone with a dog who’s been away from home long enough has talked to their pet. Also, I’m not so sure that’s Santa. I’m betting on Gandalf or that old wizard dude from Harry Potter… Isn’t he gay?
Hun, you’re not weird, I actually ask to speak to other people’s pets on the phone, just family and friends however.
I think your disembodied floating rear-view mirror Santa head is uber-creepy though… In a cute “It’s Happy Bunny” sort-of way
People do call me weird pretty often… Mayhaps I’m not the best judge?
