All you need is love, and maybe a tot of rum for your eggnog, to feel the true Christmas spirit. On the other hand, if you are looking for a few last minute suggestions for those hard to gift oddball loved ones on your list, let me be the first to direct your attention to these quality products:
The Deluxe Miracle Jesus Action Figure comes with assorted loaves and fishes and an amphora of water for conversion into wine. But the real selling point for me are the "glow-in-the-dark miracle hands." Secular celebrants of the season might prefer the Charles Dickens Action Figure "with quill pen and removable hat!"
Who hasn't wanted a full scale reproduction muzzleloading black powder cannon? What could be better than a nice model 1841 six pounder? One with a gun carriage made by the pacifist Amish. It could have been yours for $8,995 from the Cannon Superstore.
Why settle for rose-tinted glasses when you can get them in purple from the Steampunk Emporium? This is also a fine source for stage mustaches.
What medicine cabinet would be complete without a jar of leeches? This one is suitable for storing them live and comes with air holes (but no leeches). Perhaps they are a controlled substance.
How about helpful grammar tips in comic poster form from The Oatmeal? Schoolhouse Rock this ain't.
The Lego pirate fans in my house will be overjoyed with an IOU for next May's release of a Captain Jack Sparrow minifig.
Deck the halls with bows of Challah.
Tim,
You left out a John Adams bobblehead. http://bobbleheads.amazonwebstore.com/John-Adams-Bobblehead/M/B002TTMYGS.htm?traffic_src=froogle&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=froogle
