If It Is December We Need a Little Osmonds Now!

How is it possible that it is December when I still have all these flippin' pumpkins around the house? Look for an "Eat Me" post soon.

Regardless, if you ignore the piles of decaying orange orbs covering every free surface, it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas here. While you were out Black Friday shopping, we were getting the tree and ornaments out of the basement. And by "we" I mean JessiCub my personal assistant, photographer and resident couch surfer.

On Saturday after a couple of trips to Home Rule to purchase the above ornaments, the tree was mostly decorated. And by "mostly" decorated I mean minus two of the above ornaments that were broken by me and demon bourbon but blamed on JessiCub. "You were walking too loudly!"

Oh I forgot to mention that before putting the tree up we had to switch the furniture between the living room and the dining room to provide optimal tree viewing space. And by "we" I mean JessiCub while I supervised and offered helpful suggestions like "Put the chair where I had it for Christmas 2006" or "I said move it a smidge not a smudge!" and "Watch out for that pumpkin!"

By the way, JessiCub has spent the last two days looking for a real job. Some people just can't handle the stress of the holidays!

Kicking off the holidys, how about some love for the Osmond Brothers singing, dancing and ice skating?

OMG! Marie Osmond!

The dancing, fainting and doll promoting Marie caps off her drama filled comeback year by landing a talk show set to debut in 2008.

Rode Hard and Put Up Wet !

Christmas Darlings Dolls– Petite Amour (COA signed by Marie) Marie Osmond’s Christmas Darlings 1994 vignette is a delightful fun-filled creation that would cheer up Scrooge himself.


















The African American 1996 Mother's Day Doll celebrates the diversity that is Utah and marks the first time that Marie offered two versions of the Greeting Card Doll as well as the first African American Greeting Card doll. The Greeting Card dolls were not originally sold with doll stands; however, one was purchased and is included with this doll. She stands 5.5" inches tall.
