What does your girlfriend think about all of this?

His Girlfriend is a robot. He made it because his Imaginary one dumped him.

We should hang out, Matt. :)

k, so this seems to have turned into a "hey, nativity sets? WE have one of those!" so i will tell you of my favorite nativity set. it is wooden, and approximately 3" long by about 1 1/2" tall. it is triangular in shape, with two triangles for the top and bottom connected by 3 very tiny pegs at each corner. the figures themselves, as far as i can tell, are jesus mary and joseph, tho it’s hard to say as they’re made of odd shaped wooden things with faces drawn on in sharpie markers, the baby doesn’t have a face. there’s some other nondescript lumps of wood glued in there, making me think perhaps animals hadn’t yet evolved to the point of recognizability, but who am i to critiscize evolution? either way, the things tiny and messed up, i love it, and it’s the only ornament i hang on the tree every year. maybe i’ll take a pic. or something. as for your box o’ crap…i reccomend constructing a slingshot and positioning it near your front door/window, then launching the tiny trinkets at anyone who approaches your house. aim for the eyes! everyone likes you better when you give them presents…..

d*mnit! sorry, browser got stuck, i hate computers!

Call me privlaged if you want, but my family has a pretty ok set. All the animals are recognizable, and get this, the people look like real people! Well, everything is covered in a once inch layer of white pearl paint. They have lots of gold trim and crap on them too. The whole nativity is very ghetto fab.

Ohh, man. I’ve got some of those vintage bubble lights, too. They’ve been hanging around the bathroom mirror continuously for the last few years.

Geez, they’ve been up so long, I don’t even remember when we first put ‘em on there…

If you’re interested in selling the Home Alone 2 turtle dove ornaments, I’d be willing to take them off your hands. I’m another Kevin McAllister wannabe who wants to give a dove to someone to remember forever. It’s sad that I still want to do this 10 years after the movie came out, but oh well, that’s the truth.

I used to put icicles on my christmas tree.. But than we moved our tree near the fireplace so i can’t do it anymore

Ghosted by Sire Ken @ 12/05/2002 6:02 PM EST

Ok, nativity set stories… uh, I have a very small nativity set made of wood in my house, with just Joseph, Mary, and the baby Jesus. Except that there’s no baby Jesus, so someone… put a marble there… instead…..
And Matt, you’re right- the Santa Claus doll is horrific. My mom loves collecting Santa-related stuff, but I doubt even she could stand that.

Ghosted by Night_Trekker @ 12/05/2002 6:17 PM EST

Thank you for burning that goddamn Santa doll. I lose sleep many a night, knowing that he knows what he knows. But how does he know? Elves. It’s the fricking elves! He is breeding an army of them. They come disguised as peaceful creatures, slowly converting all Christmas gifts into fudge. And by the time we’re all to out of shape to fit into our luxury mid-sized overpriced minivans, it will be too late! They will have taken the world. And that sick son of a bitch Santa will be our ruler. Merry fuckin’ Christmas!

Y’know, my mother used to have these really nasty, ugly, horrible, plastic strands of ‘Christmas Candy’ that were basically vague candy shaped pieces of plastic, covered in yellow cellophane and strung together on cheap wire.

…there are I don’t know how many bite marks on them from my little sister thinking that they were ‘real candy’. I honestly don’t know why she thought they were.

And so as not to leave out the obligatory nativity creche comment, my mother had a really lovely set – and seemed to object when I lovingly placed my Demona figure from Gargoyles on top of the manger, because she was going to guard the baby Jesus. …what’s so wrong about that? Parents, I swear. I do have to admit that Godzilla eating the little cows was probably a bad move on my part, however.

I found your website by doing a search for "futuristic donkeys."
Long live the planet Zwilarto.

WHERE CAN I GET HOME ALONE WHITE TURTLE DOVE ORNAMENTS? THANKS, KAREN

Ghosted by KAREN JOHNSON @ 12/16/2002 11:21 AM EST

In my family, we have a belief that if Christmas isn’t tacky, it isn’t Christmas. The tree and house should be covered in glowing, bubbling, shiny plastic, metal, and glass. That’s just how it is. I hate those people who have formal trees with a matching theme, that’s far to tasteful to be in the true spirit of xmas. So needless to say I love you apartment.

That is one freaky ass Santa! It wouldn’t last 5 minutes at my place before I’d be bustin’ it apart.

I’m sorry… Child’s Play really warped me :)
