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..

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?

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

A Claymation Christmas was always my favorite Christmas special! I especially loved Carol of the Bells…
