Our 2023 Christmas gift exchange is complete!

For the past few years, Brain and I have come up with fun themes for our Christmas gift exchanges. We do "real" gifts for each other's birthdays each year, so we figured that we would do something a little more interesting for the holidays! We've done thrift store gifts, random office decorations, and now... weird ornaments.

To find a weird ornament for Brain, I scoured the internet over the course of several days. There were some pretty hilarious ornaments that I wanted to order for him, but, unfortunately, most of them were not radio-appropriate. I ended up settling on a totally random one from the website Archie McPhee... a squirrel wearing underwear. I'm not sure why it exists, but I'm glad it does!

Brain went a different route with his "ornament." Instead of getting a traditional one that hangs on the tree, he got me a new version of the 'Elf on the Shelf.' Meet 'Snoop on a Stoop!"

Brain bought Snoop at a shop at NewBo City Market, in case you want to go out and get one yourself...

I would say that our weird ornament gift exchange was a huge success! I can't wait to come up with next year's theme! Do you have any weird or random ornaments on your Christmas tree? Send it to us using the station app!
