Woody says "holiday greetings" in a big way. Retailer: Target.
I can’t say good-bye to the holidays without a nod to the season’s best offensive holiday gift items. Unfortunately, I have photos of only two.
This snuggly little guy is eager to be taken for a spin. Retailer: Garden Ridge.
The magnificent gingerbread ornament was dubbed Woody, and apparently pining is his annual holiday tradition. I bought two a couple years ago — the second was given to a friend I exchange hokey ornaments with each year. If Target still sold them, she’d get a new one every year.
The penguin was left on the shelf at Garden Ridge. I don’t even want to google this to find out what’s going on there.
Joe was wikkid-pants-happy to finally meet his luchador hero, The El Borbah. But something's amiss.
The rumors are true. He’s here. And he won’t go away.
The Custom Publications team recently was honored with a visit from virtual-celebrity, hard-boiled defective and luchador extraordinaire The El Borbah. (These days, he insists on “the,” and I don’t want to suffer the consequences of sticking to my AP guns on this one.)
While his online posts and tweets are off-the-wall and engaging, I have to admit that his presence in the pod has been less than dynamic. In fact, he just stands around staring at either Phil or the copy machine. I’m not sure whether to call it intimidating or mopey.
And perhaps worst off all, his visit has turned into a week-long stay. Now more than ever, I sense The Elborbah always is watching.

We sat 17-month-old Taylor down at the piano, and she immediately took control of the situation. It was a Victor Borge in the making as she engaged her audience in between musical sequences, cracking jokes and telling us little-known facts about the compositions she was introducing to us.
We were impressed by her range of playing techniques and moods as well as her ability to sightread and improvise. I’m giving her two more years until she’s leading the Columbus City Band with a newly reinterpreted version of Rhapsody in Blue.
