Our Tie o’ the Day is a prime example of what can happen when you buy a tie online. I thought I was ordering a silly tie with a bunch of waving Santa’s and a single mooning Santa with a “Kiss my ass” attitude. Groovy, right? Lo and behold! What I got was one mooner and a herd of Santa’s flipping off the world. Sorry.
Except I’m not actually sorry. I’m amused. I feel like I got a bonus chuckle, beyond just the mooner I thought I was getting. C’mon. It’s not like it’s sacriSantareligious to see Santa lose it all across a Tie o’ the Day. And you know in your heart Santa has surely got to get a little fed up with all the “I want, I want, I want” this time of year.
Oh, Santa’s a professional all right, but all those full-diapered, runny-nosed, germy kids sitting on his lap– well, that has got to take a toll on even Santa’s nerves. So go ahead, let him flip off a soul or two. Let him moon the passers-by. He’ll get over his lapse of decorum in time for the next scheduled line of kids to sit on his lap and cry in fear of the bigly, bearded, red dude. And he’ll most certainly be set to perform his Santa-ly duties professionally on Christmas Eve. For now, I’m wearing this somewhat irreverent tie when I walk Skitter through the neighborhood.
HOLIDAY TIE TALLY: 55 Bow ties. 109 Neckties.
An irreverent, but funny, Santa nevertheless.
