Snuggle up kids…. of all ages…. I’ll go make some hot chocolate, and pop some kibblecorn…
And we’ll enjoy these Christmas classics!
These films have been watched by generations of kids….
(never mind which of those generations included me)…
but they haven’t lost their magic.
…
And what a great Christmastime bargain…
Five (FIVE!) animated TV specials come to life on DVD…
in a bee-ooo-ti-ful box…
printed to look like genuine faux leather….
with loads and loads of glitter!
We all know glitter means Christmas!
…
Droololph’s nose is absolutely sparkling….
the Little Drummer Puppy is a dashing young hound.
And Poopsie… the um … the um… well… you know… is kind of yellow.
The insipid human copydog edition that Stel posted can’t possibly compare.
Those are all cartoons.. no live-action bassets!
The artwork on the box is too cutesy…. and there’s NO glitter at all!
….
I’m so glad I grew up on the original basset versions… and I hope most of today’s human children are still getting to do that too!
Stel Bel, what a lot of Christmas music. Especially Leon Redbone and Dr John doing Frosty. This whole album is great Christmas music, it was a favorite of my father-in -law when he would come up for the holiday. I like this song too:
You and Susan are aware that Tiny Tim did a duet with Space Monster, right?

Truth to tell, I’ve never been a huge fan of Christmas carols, and everybody and their sister has made a Christmas album. But the California raisins, ironically enough a creation of advertising, singing Rudolph is marvelous.
As big a charge as a 4096325-096704 is, the cops who brought him in must have been feeling the Christmas spirit. They didn’t book him for the greater crime of not believing in Cleveland (no one is sure about Toledo to this day) ! ! !
Thanks, Tigressy, I had forgotten this existed. 🎄
Do my ears deceive me, or at the 1 minute 28 second mark do we hear the opening chords later used for the “James Bond Theme?”

I went looking for this.
I found it.
I’m sorry I did. ☹
Went looking for what? The original poster? Why? That’s why I post the original, so people don’t have to try to find it.
Your comment was a bit cryptic, so I apologize if I’m misunderstanding it.
The old videos?
No, not the best, now.
But, man, i sure loved them as a kid. 🙂
I still get a kick, and a laugh, when i see them today,
…
…
Aaaaahhh! I’m under attack from a horde of savage white furry beasts!
Don’t forget ‘cute”….
a horde of cute savage white furry beasts,,,,
Might as well surrender.
I’m afraid there’s nothing you can do to fight back, in the face of such cuteness.
Get organized!
…
…
I love he raisins! 😀 <P>The claymation people sure hit it with those guys.
I went and watched the Raisins video and fell down a rabbit hole.
Pun not intended. 🙂
Not sure I like to think about why seeing raisins led you to rabbits…
cos… well.. you know….
especially if you’ve ever had a pet rabbit.
When i hit YouTube there isn’t any way to know where i will end up. 😀
Sure, blame it on the bunny.
Here’s hoping Boston Dynamics doesn’t see that reindeer video. That could actually be scary.
Loved Leon Redbone’s raspy tone and the older-style music he chose. Great pairing with Dr. John in search of more money from Christmas albums.
I can’t believe either of them did a straight rendition of a Christmas song… and even more so, together!
What’s next… the Mothers of Invention sing “Silent Night” with K.I.S.S.?
I’d like to see that.
Better yet, i’d like to see the rehearsal(s). 😀
Oooh…. the holiday season has officially begun!
Snuggle up kids…. of all ages…. I’ll go make some hot chocolate, and pop some kibblecorn…
And we’ll enjoy these Christmas classics!

I just said in reply to Arfside that I couldn’t believe Leon Redbone did straight Christmas music.
But so he did.
And David Bowie did a duet with Bing Crosby.
Am I still on Earth?
and then there’s Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga
You and Susan are aware that Tiny Tim did a duet with Space Monster, right?

Don’t forget the difference between green onions and scallions – and the Easter Bunny!!!

pastry day
According to this…(the blogger’s link is just over halfway down the page)
…LINK…
…that pastry is made…
…HERE…
… but I can’t find its name on the site.
That looks like the top was dusted with Cheetos. Hmmmm. Might be interesting…or not.
That’s definitely a different take on it, but, yeah, it could be interpreted that way, Funny.
😀
LOL
.
Yes. Please.
Good. morning Cleophans!

Y’all have a safe day. (((((HuGz!)))))
