I’ve done this tiwce already this year for both Halloween and Thanksgiving, but I’m going to do it just once more for Christmas to A) give me something to look back on next year, B) to give you an idea of how I generate ideas, and C) to see if there’s anything I missed. So, here’s my list of ideas for generating Christmas gags:
- Santa – elves, Mrs. Claus, North Pole, sleigh, St. Nick, reindeer, sack of toys, chimney, stockings, plate of cookies, sitting on lap, roof, naughty/nice list
- candy canes, mistletoe, window decorations, wreathes, wrapping. gingerbread house
- 12 days, Christmas Carol, Scrooge, Grinch, carols/caroling
- snowmen – coal, carrots, melting, Frosty
- snow – plows, snowblowers, snow globes, snowballs
- ice – icicles, skating
- trees – stars, bulbs, lights, ornaments, tinsel
- up early, toys, shopping, sales
Did I miss anything?
toy catalogs, remember those ?
Yeah, those don’t seem to either be around or not as big a deal anymore.
Does JCP still put theirs out?
I think JCP does. But not like they use to be. Those were good for hours and hours and hours……….!
