Color me disappointed...
Sorry you didn’t get that book you really wanted for Christmas Elaine, but as you can see our yellow book quadrant is at capacity.

Inception-ally unfortunate...
Gary, every dreidel you’ve spun has stopped. Face it - you’re not in a dream, my parents really are staying with us for a week.
Herbal remedy...
Sorry you’re disappointed Elaine, but when you ask me to get you “something” to drink, there’s a chance that thing is going to be a rosemary sprig.

Tied up in knots...
Elaine, I thought the idea was to tie a cherry stem in your mouth, although frankly this is much more impressive and dangerous.

Congratulations to the caption contest winner!
Christmas was that magical time of year when Elaine could almost believe that somewhere, someone had a Frosty entertaining set with a Santa tea pot who would be willing to trade.

This was a tough (and, of course, entirely subjective) decision. I was overwhelmed by the number of clever entries. Thanks to everyone who played along! Hopefully there will be more...

Due for a long winter's nap...
Their stockings were hung in the entryway with care, in hopes that Gary would find a better place than behind the seasonal Amaryllis to put his antique skis.
Caption if you can...
Don’t forget to enter the caption contest by 11pm PST tomorrow!
Lesson number one...
It just means “bathroom”? Well Elaine, I thought it meant “do not disturb,” and now I’ve had an accident.

Rolling with it...
Elaine, something about this festive winter display doesn’t seem quite right. Perhaps sprinkle artificial snow on both dice?
Strict adherence...
Yes Gary, be sure to pat yourself on the back as much as you can now for your oven mitt “storage solution,” because I’m pretty sure that tape won’t hold forever.

Taking a cat nap...
Next time Elaine, you check and see why your sister hasn’t come down for dinner yet.

Swab the deck...
Elaine couldn’t fault Gary’s deductive reasoning, but she also couldn’t help chuckle every time he called a Q-Tip an Adam.

Reindeer games...
By the time Gary and Elaine noticed that their seasonal throw pillows were missing, the rattan reindeer robbers were already making their escape.
Moosing out...
As Elaine rested the bottle of White Zinfindel in his mouth, Floyd wondered if this really was better than being road kill.

Ramblin' man...
Having struggled to create a new decorating theme this Christmas, Elaine finally settled on “Santa Retires to Miami and Sells Jewelry Outside Allman Brothers Concerts.”

Giving a cluck...
Gary was actually happy Elaine was working late; it had been too long since he and Mr. Rooster sat down to a nice pasta dinner together.
Rocky horror...
Upon jimmying open the lock, Gary realized that either he didn’t understand what a hope chest was, or he didn’t understand Elaine. Or possibly both.
