It’s Tuesday. I finished setting up my Christmas Car Tree last night after successfully hanging all 40 ornaments. I know, it’s definitely looking a little crowded on this little 4-foot tree, but for now that’s gonna have to do. Since you can’t see everything on the tree, here’s a quick rundown of the various ornaments. They fall into two basic groups: Hollywood cars and Corvettes.

Starting with the Hollywood cars, I have 4 of the different Batmobiles, 2 Mach 5s, 2 Griswold Family Trucksters, Cousin Eddie’s Motorhome, KITT Trans-Am, Smoky & The Bandit Trans-Am, DeLorean Time Machine, the Mayor’s car from Nightmare Before Christmas, Tron Lightcycle, Tony Stewart #14 stock car, and Lightning McQueen. The rest are all Corvettes that span all eight generations.

Next year there will likely be a few more additions to the list and I’ll have to consider upgrading to a larger tree. But for now, that’s my collection for 2023.

It’s Monday. Spent the weekend getting out and setting up the Christmas decorations. We don’t usually do much, but one thing I have done for the last 24 years is set up a Christmas tree exclusively for my car ornaments. It started back in 1998 when my Dad bought me a Hallmark ornament of a 1998 Corvette convertible for Christmas. I didn’t have a tree at the time, so he made a makeshift tree out of a evergreen branch. I hung the ’98 Vette on it and every year I added one or two more. With the addition of the four I purchased recently (’57 Corvette, the Griswold Truckster, the Mayor’s car from Nightmare Before Christmas, and a ’56 Corvette) I now have a total of 40 ornaments. A few years ago I realized that I needed a bigger tree, so I purchased a 4-foot pre-lit Christmas Tree. It has done the job nicely over the past few years, but I’m afraid that I’ve now outgrown it as well. I’ll post a photo of my car tree tomorrow after it’s fully decorated.

Still haven’t started my shopping yet…

It’s Friday! Here we go, it’s December and it’s full steam ahead into Christmas. It’s time to queue up the Christmas playlist, get out the lights and decorations, watch some Christmas movies, and stock up on candy canes and holiday M&Ms. And then there’s shopping. As always, I’m completely unprepared and have absolutely no clue what to get people. I hate this part. Time to start a list, I guess.

Okay, I have some new amateur goodness to share will all of you on this Friday. And there’s also the Friday double babes & double jokes to help wrap your week up nicely. Enjoy!

Keep, I’ve been a big fan of yours for years. I am been seeing a girl for a while and the other day when texting I playfully I asked her to send me something naughty. I didn’t expect anything but then this arrived. It’s not much, I know, but I thought you and your readers would like it. Keep all the good coming! -Anonymous
