Over Christmas, my family was invited to a lovely dinner over at my brother’s new in-law’s home. Somewhere between the main course and dessert, we were talking about Christmas decorations and my lovely sister-in-law’s mother pulled out this piece by Royal Doulton. At first glance, everything seems completely fine.
See? Totally cute.
Wait…look closer…do you see it?
Dolly honey? Do you need an asprin?
Poor thing. She can’t even hear us.

Maybe we’re supposed to believe the horn is like those arrow headband-dealies?

I think it is a visual metaphor. Dolly has been out partying all night and the trumpet through her head is like the visual cue that she has a hangover.

That sure is a non-standard way to run an item through a person in a creation. It is one of those items that is not as noticed until it is looked at for a bit, and then it is hard to not notice its presence.

That Santa reminds me of an ornament my brother made one year. Santa was holding a big ol’ heavy bag and if you smacked him where his groin would be, he screamed. It was called “Santa’s Hernia.”
