Black Friday. Black Friday. Black Friday. It's the only Thing I hear about on the news, at home, at the office. Not that I don't like the idea of saving big money on Christmas presents. Everyone likes that idea. What I don't like? Malls. Huge chain stores with parking lots so big that you have to take a taxi from your car to the store entrance. And crowds. So, I'm thinking Black Friday shopping probably isn't my Thing. Not your Thing, either? You're in luck. We're offering 25% off of our sale merchandise this weekend. No driving. No parking. No lines to stand in. Just point and click your way to great deals on cool Things that everyone wants for Christmas. Like these:

Animated Dumping Santa. Think you made Santa's list this year? Better check twice to make sure you made the right list! This Thing is one of the funniest decorations I've seen. He's just like the real Santa only what he puts down the chimney might be worse than a little coal in your stocking! Check out the video. Maybe if you were really good this year, you'll get some dirt instead of coal. UFO dirt, that is. Right from the site of the UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico, this little bag of desert dirt is one of our bestselling Things. And it's on sale. And you get an extra 25% off!

Baseball season might be over, but the competition can go on with our MLB Boxing Puppets. I got two of these Things. One for my uncle, a Bostonian transplant and one for my brother-in-law, a true New Yorker, though he's been transplanted to Florida. They'll both be at my sister's house on Christmas morning. I can't wait for the games to begin!

Speaking of games, here's one of my favorites: Rolling Stones Monopoly. Instead of building a real estate empire, you build a killer music collection, which is way cooler if you ask me. Plus, the game pieces are Things like Tour Bus and Drum Set (I get to be Drum Set!) It's just like regular Monopoly, only rockin'! And then there's Family Guy Operation, which is just like regular Operation only with screams and farts and a maniacal, homicidal baby nurse assisting in surgery. It's a Freakin' Sweet Thing to give (or get) for Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Black Friday. I'll see you after the holiday,
Bobby
