I've slowly turned my apartment into a Christmas village, but not just any regular Christmas village. A really crappy and holy ugly Christmas villa @ 11/30/-0001 12:00 AM

My neighbours have several pesky cats. Now I shall hang Christmas decorations on the shed so I hae an excuse to kill them…thanks for the inspiration.

wow matt, i suffer from this addiction as well! my room is literally covered in miscellaneous christmas crap right now! i just can’t help passing up a good thrift store deal… and i am envious of the stuff you got! by the way, you can always put the little figures in the boxes you send to people! either that or stick them in odd places around the neighborhood or in doctor’s offices…

I like cats, you dick.

Well we have vertical blinds. Everytime my cat goes through them, I want to throw her across the room, because she screws them up everytime she winds her feline body around them.

I have that creepy miniature nativity set…and Jesus does look like a donkey. Not a cute donkey, either.

You could make up a contest and the toys could be prizes. I dunno’, I just want free stuff…sigh.

You have one sick obsession Matt…

Keep it up.

It’s Christmastime in Hollis Queens…

Those really are some bad nativity scene sets you’ve got there. But you obviously already knew that. I think having the ghost candle next to the first one makes it look better. =) And the tree in the corner with the ornaments on it that’s in the first picture is just so festive. Hehe.

I have that song stuck in my head now. "Send me an angel. Send me an angel. Right now. Right now…"

That is freakin’ cool Matt. Sure the stuff is cheesy, but that’s what makes it so great. I like your tastes.

I’ve got a tiny plastic Christmas tree standing on a shelf in my bedroom that’s been there for the past three years (or maybe four). I dunno, maybe if I keep this up I’ll end up in the Guinness Book of Records.

My friends might start avoiding me though, but that’s just a risk I’ll have to take.

I’m a Jew, a lonely Jew, on Christmas…

Funny.
All that talk of e-bay makess me think you should do another e-bay article, Matt, because you said you were sick of reviewing stuff. And also none of the pics on those original articles ever work for me. I just get those bastard little x’s.

I know this is off the subject but I need help! I have been looking for days for information on the old ytv! you peeps know, the old fuzzpaws named "Grogs" and the early "p.j.’s" Can anyone heed my call?

Chestnuts roasted by Past1986 @ 11/23/2002 11:38 PM

I just love old gaudy christmas ornaments…we had a set of old ones that were shiny orbs with little flowers and glittery stripes painted on them. My personal favorite was the one that was colored light green and had white flowers on it. One year, I accidently knocked down the whole tree. Only one ornament broke. Guess which one.

I also like those lighted ceramic trees that are full of holes, and inside each hole is a colored, plastic bit that makes it look like the tree has lights on it…you know what I’m talking about? I’ve been hitting Sonic Adventure 2 nearly all day and my mind is a bit fried (must…find…lost…chao…)…so I’m not doing very well at describing stuff.

We’ve a set of bubble lights. We also had this set of lights shaped like flowers. They looked pretty cool…except for this one psycho light that burned really dimly, but got mad hot. Scary!

I’ve got two holiday Sears Wish Books from 1989 and 1992. I love looking at them to see what was in style back then…and to see the "state of the art" electronics! Anyone remember those?

I want some flocked bunnies!

We used to have several cats. They all died under mysterious circumstances.

Chestnuts roasted by Groover @ 11/24/2002 2:34 AM

Well… they weren’t that mysterious.

Chestnuts roasted by Groover @ 11/24/2002 2:36 AM

You Fucking Bastard! You killed the cats! I’m selling your Star Wars toys. And no more internet porn for you!

Chestnuts roasted by Mrs. Groover @ 11/24/2002 2:39 AM

Me and my grandpa used to throw those glass bulbs at my other relatives. Ah, memories…

semi-precious memories…

I tried to put up some christmas decorations in my room, but Skeletor and Metlar ate them.

Chestnuts roasted by Secondpillow @ 11/24/2002 12:14 PM

Metlar is so cool.
