Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 29, 2023

So the abominable snowman doesn’t help load the sleigh?

As they rolled the giant rock back to block the opening of the tomb, they found the brightly painted eggs that were placed behind it, and that’s how this whole thing started.

At least they didn’t put all their eggs in one basket.

Wal-Mart already has Valentine’s candy out.

So long as they don’t have Santa Claus hanging on a cross (true : It was on an Easter card from some S.E. Asian country, quite a few years ago).

Seems like the holidays DO blend together now. Walmart had Valentine’s stuff out even before Christmas!

Hahahahaha.

What a cute little bunny! I will name him Gorge and hug him and love him forever and ever. . .

Why have all the tech and only use it one day a year? Who besides the Easter Bunny requires a really high speed delivery service? Amazon Premium Premium anyone? (Click here for a 30 day free subscription.)

What about Valentine’s Day?

Start of another Tim Burton movie?

They missed Valentine’s Day, which is what the stores are crammed with as of this past Tuesday.

Cupid got slighted!

Harvey the Pooka Sighting! (of sorts)

Cupid is supposed to be riding shotgun.

You can’t beat WallyWorld for cheap commercialization of the annual holidays, including those that used to show at least a modicum of religious meaning.

Thing is most of that stuff will mold and be thrown away long before the day actually arrives. I mean who’s going to try to store that for the next three months, including the Leap Day? [And how long has it already been stored?] Can’t freeze it, refrigerate it, or store it in pantry. And, who’s going to be able to eat it?

sure the leprechaun gets first dibs to spread green beer and shamrocks

Black Friday sales are still going on.

Santa’s driving for the Easter Bunny owith Uber Sleigh???

On a brighter note, my sweet-blue eyed girl and I have just reached our 61st anniversary. Been a great train ride with lots of fun stops and occasional shunts to sidings for special times. Looking forward to more of the same.

We send our best wishes to all who have found their own special trains and are enjoying the love and the fun of it.

Crazy world.

Are calendars half price yet?

That’s a LOT of Cadbury Eggs.

Stale Christmas cookies at half em’ while your teeth last

Is the bunny named Echo?

Black Friday… is that when the Easter Bunny comes out of his tomb and sees his shadow to see if there’s going to be another flood?

It is weird that the Black Friday sales started exactly one month before Black Friday.

Shouldn’t it loaded up with Forth of July fireworks?

Fall out from Jack Skellington’s interference.

Maestro!

It’s when the “Black Friday” sales begin Thursday evening that you really have to start worrying.

I prefer Black Friday over Black Tuesday.

As a kid, I could at least visualize Santa who was in all the stores, on TV, and just about everywhere. Somehow, however, I just couldn’t wrap my mind around a big rabbit hopping into our dining room and leaving an Easter basket for me.

Black Friday has lost all meaning.

Halloween? Too early?

“Angels we have heard on high, tell us to go out and buy.

Amazon elfs, Santa’s elfs are on vacation…

It’s the Ice Cream Bunny… from Pirates World!

BUNNY!

True story:

My wife is a chocoholic. After our first child (Daughter) was borne, we had Easter baskets. Strange thing, Wife prototyped (by about 3 years) Sally Forth in producing chocolate Easter chipmunks. She opened the foil wrappings and bit off the rabbit ears, then re-wrapped the remaining chipmunks. From second Easter onward, Daughter was suspicious.

6th Easter, kids caught Wife sitting by the Easter basket. 3 Easter chipmunks done, still nibbling on what was left of the ears of the 4th one. Son and Daughter still remember, and every Easter they replay how traumatizing their childhood was.

8^P

The sleigh gets rented out all year.

I think Santa rents the sleigh in the off season; why not. Maybe the tooth fairy uses it as well sometimes.

Me too.
