No new pictures of Diamond this week, and since it’s the Friday before Christmas, I’d thought I’d introduce you instead to my only Christmas decoration: Phallic Santa.
Phallic Santa was a gift from my mother, who I suspect did not interpret it as such.
Since my parents retired out west two years ago, we mutually decided that I would fly out for Thanksgiving but not Christmas. And since it’s just me and Diamond, I don’t decorate or get a tree or anything. But as a memento of past family Christmases, I bring out Phallic Santa. What better way to remember one’s mother at Christmas?
I took some pictures of Christmas in Midtown during the transit strike — I’ll post them over the weekend.

LMAO, My mother collects various "old world Santas" and like half of them are phalic in shape and I ever noticed it. Now it's all I'm gonna think about when I get there this evening and they're all set out.

Isn't "phallic santa" what the fat guy has to do to fit down the chimney?

dolphin,
FYI, my mother is a native-born German, and it shows. For instance, she still insists that Santa Claus / St. Nicholas wears white and not red.

My Sister has a Santa just like that one. It made me think of you when I saw it.
