IN THE OCTOPUS'S GARDEN IN THE SHADE...

Many people go to great lengths to decorate their homes at this time of year. I'm sure many of you have seen Santa in his sled being pulled by 'Ole Red Nose' and the boys (they were actually girls, you know;the 'boys' shed their antlers in winter but not the girls). But I digress. I bet none of you have seen a Christmas Octopus. Well now you have. Kind of makes you wonder what Halloween might have been like.

  1. No, never seen a Christmas octopus before. What big teeth you have, said little red riding hood. He's beautifully decorated and I love the quirkiness of it.

  3. Love the idea of a Christmas Octopus, they could write songs about this! I didn't know that octopuses had scales, teeth and a tongue like a snake...

  4. That is probably the strangest Christmas decoration I have ever seen. And you have just assured that I will be humming that song the rest of the day.

  10. One of the less fortunate things about South Florida is its weirdness. One of the most fun things about South Florida is its weirdness.

    I think this is a fun thing. Not sure, but I think so. And I guess an octopus decoration for Xmas makes as much sense as a Santa.

    And thanks for the reminder re: reindeer. I think I had heard that before ... maybe 50 - 60 years ago - but I forget easily. You need to digress more often; I enjoy learning new (old) things! :-)

    Meanwhile, have a great day!

  12. You are SO right...if this is Christmas, Halloween must have been totoally off the scale scary. Darn, sorry you missed it.

    What were YOU doing. Hurriedly painting the octopus?? Writing silly, won't amount to much song lyrics. Fess up.

  17. Didn't you ever have one of those Christmases where you couldn't take any more ads, carols, or shopping? These folks have! And I'm sure it is lovely all lit up at night (keeps annoying family away, too)

  19. I can hardly wait to see the Christmas Octopus cartoon aired in TV every year to help us celebrate.
