   I thought the California raisins went away in the 80's. They are so creepy.

   Oversize wrinkly preserved fruit-men are not neat. It's true I come to neatorama to see grotesque, disturbing imagery, but this is really crossing the line. Thanks for ruining my day.

   I LOVE the Claymation Christmas special! I hunted it down on VHS and now I watch it every year! Nothing beats the "Carol of the Bells" bit with a choir of bells banging themselves on the heads with mallets, but a certain brainless bell messes it all up to the dismay of his conductor. The bells name? Dumbbell! The conductor? Quasimodo! Get it?

    Awww, Violet...you must be a very sad little troll during the holiday season. I hope the rest of your day is brighter!

    I looooved the California Raisins growing up. They introduced me to Motown music when I was a very little girl and I own two copies of their VHS special, just in case one of them wears out! This is a wonderful treat..
