Close to Home by John McPherson for December 21, 2022

well, you wanted a star on the tree!

I agree. That head has to go.

If I was the next person, you wouldn’t like it at all.

12 gives everyone the creeps.

I see that John McPherson gave a shout-out to the Glens Falls NY Post-Star here. McPherson lives in nearby Saratoga Springs by the way.

I love the Halloween/Christmas trees.

Hi, Bleeb! While you’re there, could you climb up and get rid of that thing? Feel free to throw it at Dalcon.

A Very Brady Christmas?

I don’t know, the image of Brady with a tree shoved up his… (ahem) somehow seems appropriate.

I have no problem with Tom, but there are those who would like his head on a stick

I don´t know, sticking a Christmas tree up his **** seems appropriate – 49ers fan here.

I don’t know. Tom Brady’s head stuck in a tree is probably what a lot of people are thinking of right about now. Do the initials F T X mean anything to you?

Bleeb better come inside it’s cold outside

Ew.

Well, he’s no angel…

looks more like Greg Brady

Just thank your stars it isn’t Gronk!

Brady himself gives me the creeps.

Just gives you a “head start” on your Christmas shopping!

I never knew Tom had such a long neck.

Oh just great, now the tree is going to have a temper tantrum.

I like football (or any sports) much less than the next person.

I would have gone with the full figure Gisele.

He looks a little, well, deflated…

The tree is not complete without the seven rings of light around Tom’s head.

It looks like a headhunters trophy…

Right. The Aaron Rogers tree topper would look much better.

That’s a tree topper? Phew I was about to say….

Absolutely!

Can’t be Tom Brady, he’s smiling.

That is what his wife said…he has to go!

Dalcon doesn’t look happy about it either.

There isn’t an athlete alive, or dead, whose head I want to see represented on a Christmas tree.

Well, that just let all the air out of the holiday.

Our good-natured friend Bleeb likes the tree topper, but apparently Dalcon hates it!

’Scuse me. I gotta hit the head.

What’s that in the window?
