The Christmas Creep

Well helloooo, people still finishing your Halloween candy.

READY FOR CHRISTMAS?

::aggressively shakes jingle bells::

Yes, yes, I hear you. "It's too early!" "What about Thanksgiving?"

Blah. Blah. BLAH.

Look at this tree:

Doesn't it fill you with CHEER?

(Ignore the balls.)

(Or don't, if they're helping.)

And wouldn't you rather look at pretty presents right now?

(Pretend these are pretty.)

Or how about the smell of freshly baked gingerbread?

"Heyyyyyy maaaaaaaan."

My point is, move over, Fall; Christmas is on a roll!

A cinnamon roll.

::jazz hands::

So just get ready for 7 weeks of Mannheim Steamroller instrumentals, cinnamon air freshener, garland everywhere, twinkle lights, and creepy Christmas cakes.

Yessssss.

I CAN'T WAIT.

Thanks to Toni S., Elizabeth B., Jacquelyn B., Matthew O., Anony M., Bonnie B., Caroline, Rachel, & Abby for reminding us it's the most wonderful time of the year.

P.S. Remember, it's never too early for Christmas decorations... in your beard:

BEARDAMENTS Beard Lights & Baubles

Even if you don't have a beard - or know someone with a beard you could convince to wear these - I highly recommend checking out the customer photo gallery, haha. "RH" in the red shirt has an especially majestic display. :D

8 Bakers Failing At Ridiculously Simple Tasks

You had one job, bakers:

ONE JOB.

::sigh::

[head in hands]

My eyes!

I'm always hearing how cakes should come with spell check. Um, guys?

This one did.

Q: How easy is it when all you have to do is pipe a little path for Strawberry Shortcake to stand on?

A: Apparently not easy enough.

o.0

I don't know why, but this one made me laugh like an unhinged maniac:

"Almost... there... almoooost... AW SCREW IT."

Then I found this one:

"JUST SCREW IT."

My life, it is now complete.

Thanks to a Melissa H., Rae, Raynn, Julia K, Rebecca H., Christi O., Mary A., & Reginia B. for the borderline insanity.

P.S. Since this saved my butt during a long painting day recently, I have a random product recommendation:

No Buckle No-Show Stretch Belt

This is my new favorite belt, y'all. It basically turns anything with belt loops into an elastic waist. So comfy I forget it's on, slimline so it doesn't show under my t-shirts, and NO BELT BUCKLE to dig into my belly or unbuckle for bathroom breaks. Woohoo!

You know how stretch jeans are forever sliding down when you sit or bend, so you have to keep hitching them back up? No more! I wear this with all my jeans now. It's entirely elastic, so it moves and stretches with you, zero painful digging. I HIGHLY recommend for anyone well endowed with squish in the belly area.
