Day 1.284: Jesus and his reindeer...

...are coming back? Exile #2 directed me to the website of Oriental Trading this evening. If you follow links to first 'Holidays' then 'Christmas' you will see a section dedicated to 'Holiday stuffed animals'. This has three subsections. I wish this was a joke.

Realistic Holiday Dogs
Animals with Candy Canes
and
Religious Reindeer.

Well, what else could you possibly be looking for? The last section attracted our attention - it only appears to have one product, but it doesn't disappoint. It is a plush "Jesus is Deer to me" reindeer - as it says, this is "A truly inspiring gift." Indeed, who (of my faithful readers) could fail to be inspired by such top-notch punnery?

The picture is from Moreau Lake ten days ago - paint by numbers anyone? I bet it looks even better now (or has in between anyway). We watched a documentary this evening where rock music met theoretical physics - it was about a rock musician discovering about his father, a quiet physicist who came up with the parallel universes theory, was basically excommunicated from the physics world and died when his son was 19. It was very good.

The title is a tribute both to punning holiday gifts and to that particular rock musician. It's pop pun 83 for title watchers: will you be here before I sputter out?
