If StockX were Santa, here’s what I would be getting under the Christmas tree.

What can I say other than “Nailed it!”

Okay, maybe not… I doubt I would even wear those Jordan 12 Reverse Flu games. Maybe the Swatch x Tape camo watch.

Regardless, the holidays aren’t solely about the material things as this year has pointed out, so go ahead and enjoy time with family and friends (virtual or hopefully in person).

According to this calendar, Christmas is on a Friday with December 1 falling on a Tuesday. Really though, December 1, 2016 was on a Thursday, and Christmas is on a Sunday. I guess having 11 of the 12 months accurate is good enough?

Wow, Jolly Old Saint Nick came early this year! On my chair was these. I must have been a good boy this year. Check out these Adidas Christmas lights!!!

Thanks much to the guwapo Saint Nick.

Did you find the pickle?

What happens when (select) local Longs Drugs stores have a 90% clearance on Christmas ornaments and decorations? You get an explosion of impulsiveness that looks like this.

Of course you need Christmas-themed Mickey and Minnie Mouse in large and medium sizes.

And you need even more medium size mouses.

But it’s not only Disney items on clearance, your childhood Rudolph friends like the Abominable Snowmonster aka “Bumble” are on sale.

Really though, despite these enormous savings, what would you do with these impulsive purchases? I would have preferred to save up for these Kyrie 2 Abominable Snowmonster kicks instead.

Buy a few, write letters to Santa, and wait until December 25, 2016 for Saint Nick to deliver. At worst, your wishes will be in the form of toys, but that could be a lot of toys…but only if you stay on the Nice List.

Remember my order mixup with Strong Like Bull magnets? With great customer service, the problem has been resolved and my bonus order is here.

A DreamHost convention without swag is unheard of. DreamHost giving away their conference swag is welcomed.

Yes, the simultaneous timing of all these arrivals made me wonder, then came the Klout McCafe Pumpkin Spice Latte #momentsofwonder promotion. Tasty!

But legally, I must say:

I was given a free product or sample because I’m a Klout influencer. I am under no obligation to receive the sample or talk about this company. I get no additional benefits for talking about the product or company.

But I will quickly reiterate – tasty!

Since Christmas is approaching, it’s time to start up the Pulpconnection Holiday Gift Guide for 2013. Keep an eye on this Pinterest board for some holiday suggestions.

D, this is for you.

Merry Christmas!

While that video is full of awesomeness, here’s an awesomer Christmas bonus for 2012. There is a lesson within so watch and learn…

Luckily, our family was guests on the float sponsored by Waimanalo Feed Supply. This float may have been the pinnacle of the parade featuring a decked out flatbed truck with a Christmas tree, enthusiastic riders, and three sheep enjoying the festivities.

The parade had an early 9am start time kicked off by Grand Marshall Eric Bunyan. Then came a caravan of some most interesting vehicles. There were bikers from the Yokozuna Riders.

Windward politicians, Ikaika Anderson, Chris Lee, and Laura Thielen walked the route and passed out candy.

Then came muscle cars, vintage cars, and even a homemade barstool “car.”

Yes, Miss Hawaii Filipina was there.

These golf carts are outrageous!

But not to be outdone, there was a speed boat.

In the heat and humidity, the seniors had it right, riding a covered trolley.

Nothing says Christmas like a dune buggy and an off-roading truck.

Here’s the full length view of the Waimanalo Feed Supply float with sheep in tow.

The Royal Hawaiian Movers were out in full force, each truck blaring its horns.

Did I mention the candy? Remember back in the day when paraders would let fly the candy? Now, it’s all handing it gently to the bystanders… except in `Nalo. This community harkens back and still lets the candy sail through the air. And lots of it. Lots. Each vehicle unleashed an arsenal of sweets. Just check out the stash in this truck’s cabin.

Security from Bellows was there, not for safety or security, but yes, you guessed it, to fling candy at the audience.

I have no idea about this.

Then the closing highlight of the parade was Santa’s arrival… by boat.

While Santa and his Elves unloaded candy, treats from the North Pole also took the form of frozen Otter Pops.

Here are even more pictures from this eclectic community Christmas parade.

And don’t worry about the sheep. They were fine, eating the whole ride. They did want to wish you a very Merry Christmas.

I’m thinking Jimmy playing a wood block has my nod. And is that a Fisher Price xylophone on wheels?

Here’s Henry Kapono performing a live version of this Christmas classic in support of the Marines’ Toys for Tots program.

I pity the fool who doesn’t have a very Merry Christmas!

Yes, we know that stainless steel refrigerators like the LG LFX31925ST/Sears Kenmore Elite Model 72053 do not have magnetic surfaces, so forget that idea of sticking on notes, calendars, and kids’ artwork. But that smooth steely surface can help liven up the Holiday Spirit in your kitchen. How? Just add a handful of Christmas-themed “magnetic stickers.”
