Christmas is way past being over, my lovely turkey dinner is but a memory, and the Charlie Brown specials have stopped airing on the television... all that's left is the nagging worry that I'm rapidly running out of storage space for all these decorations.

Space Race Card Game
The card game is called "Space Race." There's two sets of #1-11, one for each player. The rest of the deck consists of cards that forfeit a turn. Each player takes a turn from their deck. The first player to collect all planet cards (collecting only in order, starting with card #1) wins.
The game was reissued/repackaged a couple times from the '50s-'60s by Ed-U-Cards in New York.

Meet the Imitation Hymalayan Nanny Goat Rug!
"Wooly Bully" area rug at Lowes, offered in off white and cocoa brown in a variety of dimensions.OooOOoOo... it's just like walking on yogurt! My bare living room floor has been dying for some T.L.C. like this for far too long...
The search took me through large area rugs, small rugs, dark ones and light. I looked at antique rag rugs, cowhide rugs, faux fur rugs(???) and almost settled on noodle rugs. And then... When I saw this baby on the showroom floor, it was L-O-V-E. I love this area rug. I bought it, bundled her carefully in the red wagon and carried her over the threshold in to her new home.
Mind you, she has one fault to overlook, she tends to shed mini fluffs with traffic. But that's okay. This rug will gently kiss your toes all day long without complaint. Ahhh-hhh...

Aluminum Christmas
Somehow this old tree of my Grandma's always manages to make me feel all Christmassy inside in a way that even real trees don't quite manage.

Merry Xmas From the Space-Age Bachelor Pad
Retro genius Esquivel brings you "Merry Xmas From the Space-Age Bachelor Pad" Listen to samples from this and his other albums at Amazon.Biography
In the mid-'90s, Juan Garcia Esquivel enjoyed one of the most unexpected resurgences of popularity -- and hipness -- in the annals of 20th-century pop. The composer and arranger skirted the lines between lounge music, eccentric experimentalism, and stereo sound pioneer in the late '50s and early '60s on a series of albums aimed at the easy listening market. Both cheesy and goofily unpredictable.
