Day #336

Today was mine & Luke's annual gift exchange, we usually hold it on the day we have our Office Christmas Party. In lukes grand fashion I got the next installment of Modern Warfare #3.. SAWEEETTTTT! And the wife groans! Luke got a big bag of crap.. Not really, but since we didn't win the bag of crap on the last woot off. I created him a bag of crap.. Yes it had some really crappy stuff, a tooth brush, window cling, snap pops, A really cool 2012 woot calendar, and some gift cards! So we both had a great gift exchange!

And yes as usual, it has become a Christmas Tradition for the TWINKLE TWEE to be place out on display for all to see! the Twinkle Twee is a plastic Christmas tree with 3 or 4 c9 light bulbs in the base that flash in random color. They were produced in the 1960's in Pittsburgh, Pa. The tree is one of my favorite memories growing up as a kid, My parents had one at home. It ranks right up there with Mr. Bill.... The Christmas Snowman.

Mr. Bill has a special place in our hearts too.. I remember Mom stored Mr. Bill up under the house, and one day my dad, after Mr. Bill was put away, went up under that part of the house and Mr. Bill scared the bejesus out of my dad!! I don't think dad liked Mr. Bill after that, and I don't think he has been out since.. But I think he still lives under the house.

Mr. Bill kinda looked like this http://www2.gloriousgaydays.com/uploaded_images/Snowman-1950-755020.jpg But I think dad must have saw this instead http://img.alibaba.com/wsphoto/v0/470417966_1/2011-lasted-Plants-vs-Zombies-plastic-snowman-Zombies-Plastic-Piggy-Bank-Saving-Box-Coin-Box-Gift.jpg
