Hope everybody gets ahead in the New Year!

Happy New Year from The Wicked Woods!

Forbidden love!

While putting up the Christmas decorations, I opened the outdoor building to find THIS!

Creepy gift round up

   If you are a true Halloween fan, chances are you got some creepy Christmas gifts. Here are ghoulish goods I plundered from Christmas :

Who wouldn't love a glass head. This will sit out year round with whatever holiday hat we have around adorning it.

Love this melting clock. Right out of a Salvador Dali painting or a nightmare involving being late!

Truly gross looking stuff... not sure if I will ever eat it. 

An awesome calendar for sure! 

A glow in the dark shirt! 

While this is not creepy, the pictures it will take sure will be. This is the last blurry photo I will be taking with the old camera!

A new tripod to maximize night shots for super creep factor.

I must admit, I did not receive Lilly for Christmas, I still thought her impression of a Vulcan was very creepy!

   I hope everybody had as great a Christmas as we did here in the Wicked Woods. Did anybody else get creepy gifts? Tell me about them!

Mr and Mrs Sandy Claws wish you a Very Merry Christmas

Hope everybody in blog-land is having as wonderful a Christmas as we are!

Lilly must have thought Archie was the real Santa... only time she has been good all Christmas.

Twas the night before Christmas......

And all through the house....

Not a creature was stirring.....

Except for this louse! 

Merry Christmas from all of us at the Wicked Woods!

 

Merry Christmas Eve....eve!

 This is the un-creepiest thing I have created all year.

Took 10 hot glue sticks, a Styrofoam cone, and 3.5 bags of peppermints to make this. I wish I had lined them up better but it was a good first run. Next year I am going to make a green one. Hope everybody is having as great a holiday as we are!

Our tree skirt runeth over with loot!

Archie hides among the present in hope that Lilly will not find him.

Lilly keeps plotting to take over the world while she systematically searches ever present for the hidden Archie!

A cat yodels 'Jingle Bells'

How creepy is that!?

"Meh...I've made better music with my butt."

Night of the living ginger dead.

They are growing in number every minute!

They are Legion!

   We did manage to get a few traditional looking Christmas cookies out of cookie night :

   We made so many cookies that night, I think my mother lost her mind :

   The cat's were on their best behavior... which usually means they are charging up their batteries for a big evil plan.

Lilly actually decided to take a nap under her tree instead of climbing it for a change.

She is the official cookie taster.

Naughty but nice and also lazy.

She almost looks innocent sleeping there.

   It was a great cookie night that actually stretched over 3 days as we completed decorating them. We ended up with over 500 sugar, gingerbread, Ooey Gooey, and chocolate chip cookies. Not to mention 2 huge pans of peanut butter and chocolate fudge. As soon as we stopped for the night, Lilly (with fully charged batteries of evil), went on the prowl.

M happened to point out to Lilly that my mom had wrapped up some presents for her.

She loves presents

Maybe a little too much.

    Lilly was her usual naughty self and opened up one of her presents early. I am pretty sure if she could read, she would have opened up Archie's instead.
