AAUGH Blogger:<\/strong> Hey, Nat, what’s that you got there?<\/p>\n

Nat:<\/strong> It’s the A Charlie Brown Christmas<\/em> Mini Puzzles box set thingy<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

AAUGH Blogger:<\/strong> Oh, a thingy, is it? What has it got in it.<\/p>\n

Nat:<\/strong> It has these two bags of very small jigsaw puzzle pieces.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>AAUGH Blogger:<\/strong> Do they go together into two very small jigsaw puzzles?<\/p>\n

Nat:<\/strong> I presume so. But very small pieces. Thick, aging fingers. Not a combination I feel like trying today. But it also has this two-sided mini-poster thingy, with Tom Brannon images of A Charlie Brown Christmas.<\/p>\n

AAUGH Blogger:<\/strong> Are the images on that thingy the same images that are on the jigsaw puzzle?<\/p>\n

Nat:<\/strong> Again, I can only presume so. But if so… well, if you believe like I do that a jigsaw puzzle is just a poster that’s been delivered in a very inefficient manner, this just makes the whole thing redundant.<\/p>\n

AAUGH Blogger:<\/strong> Is there… maybe… is there also a book?<\/p>\n

Nat:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

AAUGH Blogger:<\/strong> Is it… is it an A Charlie Brown Christmas book?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Nat:<\/strong> Well, the cover says Peanuts A Charlie Brown Christmas Sticker Book<\/em>.<\/p>\n

AAUGH Blogger:<\/strong> IS IT A BOOK ADAPTATION OF A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS<\/em>? Isit isit isit???<\/p>\n

Nat:<\/strong> It’s just got eight stickers inside.<\/p>\n

AAUGH Blogger:<\/strong> ARE THE STICKERS SUFFICIENTLY INFORMATIVE AND IN PROPER ORDER THAT, IN LOOKING THROUGH THEM YOU GET THE STORY OF A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS<\/em>?!<\/p>\n

Nat:<\/strong> No.<\/p>\n

AAUGH Blogger:<\/strong> …<\/p>\n

Nat:<\/strong> But it’s all in a little box that should fit well in a Christmas stocking, if one wants to celebrate Christmas on Christmas and the days following.<\/p>\n

AAUGH Blogger:<\/strong> …<\/p>\n

Nat:<\/strong> To make up for your obvious holiday-related disappointment, let me show you this photo I took of a front lawn in my suburban neighborhood this morning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

AAUGH Blogger:<\/strong> That looks… sincere!<\/p>\n

Nat:<\/strong> Yes, it does.<\/p>\n
