B is for Bevy of Bright Baubles!

Hay-ho, busy morning, but I seem to have a moment of quiet now! A few Christmas baubles I have seen around, or shot out and about, which for whatever reason were left where I saw them!

I really can't remember where I saw this, or imagine who would want it on their Christmas tree, it's all a bit Halloween rather than Christ's birth, but it is a traditional glass blown one, and amusing?

 

Garden-center the other week, I think?

Under the glitter is a pink/purple zone toy!

Asda Stores; horrid! Fine as key-rings, fine as mobile-phone loop hangers, but on a Christmas tree? Seriously? I wouldn't want to be seen dead with this shit on my tree? We are sliding toward oblivion on the slimy piled-remnants of the salesman's product-placed bollocks. But look at all those empty hooks, they've sold hundreds, to little consumer-units who haven't the faintest idea what Christmas should be about.

 

TKMaxx; variations on a theme, more commonly seen here in relation to cakes, or, on one occasion, a music box! Too big and baseless for figure collectors, and too girly for my tree, they stayed where they were!

 

Also TKMaxx, but a few weeks later. I would have bought this, if it was a single, but it came with that phuqing-awful controller? Who the hell would put that on their tree? And it's too poor to go to charity either. And, it's a games-controller, not a B/O robot control? Just naff!

 

As were these (TKMaxx, not naff!), I actually bought them for some friends of Mums, who are both keen gardeners, with the instruction that if they don't like them, they can pass them on, but I hope they will, they are fun, harmless and not some licensed bollocks!

 

I think I found this lot on evilBay, last year, doing all the Nativity posts, now, I'm not religious enough to put them on my tree, but they are blown-glass, and quite well executed, so if you were religious, I can see the appeal. And if you were clever, you could hang the Little baby Jesus with his Mum & Stepdad, in a slight hollow portion of the tree and have the rest surrounding it . . . I'd spread them all over, so they had to shout at each other!

 

I think all the rest are feebleBay finds to be honest, I thought these were nice, because, Soldiers! And a sort of Santa/Eastern-Othodox looking mage!

 

I saved this shot as we had these when we were kids, in fact I think there may still be a blue survivor, and possibly a pink one with my 'gay tree' stuff, the missing ones are another polka dot, and three green versions of the others, probably Woolworth's, back in the day and I always wondered why the unmatching polka dots were in there, with the banded ones!

 

And another military type to finish off!
