You’d think you would be used to Moondog’s sweat socks by now Pilsner

At least I keep my pre-decorated tree clean in a garbage bag.

O Christmas Socks, O Christmas Socks

How smelly are thy textures!

O Christmas Socks, O Christmas Socks

Ten Santa’s died from the sheer shocks!

Picky, picky. I’ll have you know I took those socks from the Top of the hamper. They’ve hardly had time to affinage an aromatic bouquet.

The pile of empty (I assume) pizza boxes in the background is a nice touch.

I LOVE the Pilsner strips. :)

Unfortunately for me, this kind of hits closet to home.

How sad pulling some large artificial tree from a closet. I pull my 16" one from behind the couch as Santa intended!!!

…the stockings were hung by the chimney to air (out)

Moondog goes all out in his decorations. He had to change his sweat socks twice.

We always used our own socks.

The hard part is lugging the fireplace up from the basement.

Traditions. The spirit of Christmas.

My wife embroidered fancy big socks for each of us with our names in big letters- her, me, our two kids. She did the same for our first grandchild. I’m sure she’ll do the same for our grandson, too, who was just born a few days ago.

Do birds have a sense of smell?

Pilsner is too fastidious a parakeet to be living with Moondog! Maybe he should seek adoption at the nearby Nuttingham Mansion. I have a feeling he might just get along well with Sedgwick Nuttingham III….
