The Best of Funky Junky
Here they are, my favorite-ist ornaments ever, Hamburger Angel, The Real Santa, and Cheez-It Santa! And, I love them.
Hamburger Angel wins the prize, with spoolish ankles, upside-down wings, an over-sized halo, a splotchy-"E" torso, "E-L-I-J-A-H" arms and a generous hamburger offerring. And the best part is that there's no explanation -- just a random and fabulous creation from an inventive little boy. (Had to move him to the top of the tree.)
The Real Santa is doing some sort of Broadway dance, I'm sure of it. A tap dance. He sports a frilly upside-down snowman beard and bushy white eyebrows. Poor Santa, he hasn't even fooled baby Charlotte, who spots him on the tree and shouts, "Daddy!"
Cheez-It Santa stands 13" tall. He has a garlic beard, cracker lips and Cheez-it dimpled buttons. He's good friends with TV-dinner Scooby-Doo and Oreo Mama, both of which are making guest appearances over at Kiddley today.
Yep, it's true, I have the best collection of Christmas funky junkies -- I'm totally spoiled. And Charlotte hasn't even gotten started yet.
It's true - I think you do have the best collections of funky junky ornaments! They are amazing and precious! Thank you for sharing with us. It's Christmas Eve over here and all the presents are wrapped, the plum pudding is made, the ham has been baked, the seafood is ordered (typical Christmas Lunch in our tropical environment)and it's wonderful to be able to share a little bit of your Christmas. I hope you and your family have a Magical Chrismtas and that all your hopes and dreams come true.

Wow! I'd never heard off funky junky ornaments before. They're quite fantastic. Tried to sew something for the tree this year, but was spectacularly unsuccessful. These might be more up my alley... have a lovely Christmas!
