Damn Dollies

As my neighbors start putting up their crazy people Halloween decorations (just wait for the pictures I sneak, it’s something to behold), I have been reminded that Christmas is coming.

Dude, I know it’s September. But my lovely neighbors will start adding Santas to their Halloween stuff in about a week so the association is really their fault. Big, creepy santas and gingerbread men mixed among black spiders and tombstones…shudder.

I tend to do all of my shopping last minute and I am usually not pleased with what I find. This year, I’m cutting back on the number of things I buy and committing myself to giving way cooler presents. I bring you this:

Dutch’s Holiday Shopping Guide for the Anti-Materialist Indie Sonofabitch Parent

It’s not new, but it’s good. Dutch is fantastic, Juniper is always adorable, and this list rocks.

Who wouldn’t want one of these for Christmas?

    Dammit, Melissa! You made me buy earrings! One link led to another, and before you know it…BAM! There went five bucks (six with shipping).

    They’re cute. They look like carrots. :)

    Yes, Dutch, more please!

    Will be waiting impatiently for the covert photos of the festive Halloween yard!

    Yes, Dutch, please more! I love that list. Seriously, thank you.

    It’s just one of those things that take time to gather and it’s great to have unique, artist-created items where you can pay the artist directly instead of hoping to find something cheap and ugly at a chain store.

    Christmas is officially coming… yesterday, Sunday, September 24th, I saw my first display of Christmas cards at the drug store. I feel a little sad.
