It’s monday and a day to wake up to something funny. Brought to you by Daisy Owl the online comic.

Christmas Silverware Holders – Santa Suit Pockets
I’m certain you’ve noticed in a recent visit to any department store that Christmas is looming. Seems we are being trained to start preparing the minute after Halloween. I’ll admit that we don’t decorate in November but we certainly start to plan and collect what we’ll need for the holiday season.
These cute little cutlery holders for your silverware are perfect for the Christmas dining room table. Each Santa themed pocket will hold a fork, knife and spoon. They come in a set of 6 that include 3 pair of pants and 3 jackets. They are made of polyester so they will hold up pretty good but I wouldn’t recommend machine washing them.
Our plan is the pants for the boys and the coats for the girls to indicate seating arrangements. And they are not just for the kid’s table! (When will I finally get to sit at the adult’s table?).
Xmas Gift Idea – Chocolate Spoons
I know you don’t want to hear this, but it’s coming. You can’t stop the slow advance, it will suddenly be upon you. Christmas, is indeed, coming to town. Your only way to escape it’s ravages is to begin preparations now. And a classic recipe involving cutlery is the chocolate spoon. The recipe is simple but the variations and applications are almost infinite. I don’t like mine with sprinkles as I like to stir it into my “magic Xmas coffee”, so I prefer it to be dusted with cinnamon. Great gift idea and special treat for breakfast on Christmas morning.
Halloween Pumpkin Carving Tools
It’s that time of year again to carve pumpkins into scary shapes and faces. In our house it was done with a fish filleting knife that no child should have their gourd guts covered mitts on. Wired’s Gadget Lab goes almost Steampunk with their choice to review this brass and walnut handled carving set. It’s a little over the top but they make a good point that after Halloween it can be used for more than just pumpkins.
