It started simply, as such things so often do.
First, there was the tree. Then, Rudolph and Clarise, followed by a succession of guest stars. Monday, it was the charming and delightful Abominable Snow Monster. Tuesday, the noble Sub-Mariner swam by, while the Bubmle lurked nearby, contemplating whether or not he was edible.
Today? Things, shall we say, got out of hand.
Rudolph, Clarise and the Bumble were joined by Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man and his G.I. Joe knockoff, Mike Powers, the Atomic Man. (Mr. Powers had some difficulty standing and was, for a few minutes, actually leaning on the tree for support--a little early to be hitting the eggnog so hard, Mike.)
Then, other characters just started showing up...like Kung Fu Panda...and Hero Bear...and Angel Spawn...and Deathstroke the Terminator...and another, generic panda...and, finally, a cigar-smoking monkey in an office chair (who appeared after the photo above was taken).
So the top of my cabinet is now a sterling example of how mortal enemies--the panda and the ninja-like assassin, the animated deer and the carnivorous yeti, the bionic man and his legally dubious, possibly intoxicated clone--can set aside their differences at this festive time of year and live in peace.
Either that, or it's the most cracked-out Nativity scene ever.

They're living together in sweet holiday peace alright...but it's still a cracked-out assembly, dude. I'm happy to see that those creepy, androgynous evil angels have flown back to heaven...or hell.
