Ha i love that frog decoration @Ross1975 !!!! Did they have any other ones similiar to that?

I agree that is a bit strange having summer themed decorations, it doesn't feel right to have a Christmas tree with sunglasses on unless maybe you live in Australia!

There were lots of glass ones, I don't think there were any similar to the frog one, but I remember one that was just as quirky which was Father Christmas inside a transparent dome in a space rocket.

I recently picked up a limited edition gingerbread Pepsi, it's quite good.

@Ross1975 your froggie is delightful! Do you think it might be a variation of a nutcracker toy? Gingerbread Pepsi sounds like something they would serve in heaven! Do you like Christmas? I'm crazy for everything that is Christmas. Absolutely everything.

Ross1975

Hey StarryEyed. Yes, it could possibly be a variation of a nutcracker toy, I never thought of that. I really like the giant nutcracker toys that are in the shops, I've not bought one though as I just don't really have room, my Christmas decoration collection is already pretty big.

I love Christmas and I can't wait to get my decorations up, I have lots of cool ones.

Here is a video of me showing my decoration pick ups if anyone is interested.

This sums me up in a nutshell 🤘

I personally wouldn’t say it has that sort of connotation or context to the image. Skull and Crossbones has been around for hundreds of years. The last Jolly Roger flown on a mast was when HMS Conqueror sailed up the River Clyde in 1982.
You can buy t shirts with a similar image, or men with arthritis with Harley Davidson’s or Indian’s will have its as a logo for there motorbike group.

Taken a wee bit out of context and has no reference to the devision you speak of. Loosely based on the Jolly Roger, last flown on a mast when HMS Conqueror Sailed up the River Clyde in 1982. Many men in America have it on the back of biker vest’s when riding a Harley or an Indian Motorbike. The Jolly Roger has been around for centuries.

I am so excited to get home to decorate that I went to look at Christmas decorations today at my favourite Spanish department store, El Corté Inglés. Wowza! What a collection. Here are some of my faves...

@Ross1975 they have quite a few mushrooms decorations here too. Weird! What is the relevance to Christmas? Dunno. There is one that I actually like, made of glass....

StarryEyed, some of those decorations look very cool, especially the nutcracker men.

I've got no idea what relevance mushrooms have to Christmas but I guess they go with the woodland creature decorations which seem to have become popular over the last couple of years.

I have a few plush mushroom and woodland creature decorations myself.
