Musical Uncle Santa Snowglobe
You read that right. It really does exist, the Musical Uncle Santa Snowglobe was won fair and square by Neil and I at a Christmas Curry party we went to this weekend. As you can see from the picture, it is much like your average Santa snowglobe, with the glaring irregularity that this Santa clearly favors kiddies born in the US of A. From the picture you cannot however, see that the globe produces the tune “God Bless America.”
This item is not a gag. It is a legitimately marketed product that was purchased, donated to a charity auction, and brought to us by fate’s loving delivery. While it presents many conundrums, the principal one for us is whether to put it up at Christmastime or for Independence Day.
And, that’s right folks, just as you might expect it’s Made in China.
Hilarious!

This remins me of these Jesus figurines put out by evangellical denominations trying to make him more cool to kids by skiing, boarding, etc. Somehow mixed media that doesn’t seem like a problem to the originators.

Too bad it doesn’t play “I’m a Yankee Doodle Santa” THAT would be awesome.
Let’s have Christmas photos taken of the Kelly Kids on Uncle Sam’s lap this year!!!
