Some years, if we’re not traveling… we spend Christmas Day with friends. They tend to have less emotional baggage than family, and are generally a lot more fun. Of course last year, Covid ruined everything about the holidays and we neither traveled nor made merry with friends. Boo to global pandemics! They’re such a buzz kill.
Our friends, being fun loving (as well as gift greedy) have decided to celebrate 2020’s lost holiday in July. (It will be a barbecue/pool party at our friend’s newly purchased house/horse farm/how the Hell is a 50 something single woman going to take care of this huge spread by herself.)

We’ve been invited and encouraged to get into the Christmas in July spirit…. so naturally I will be wearing this:
.

.
Because nothing says Ho! Ho! Ho! like Santa in a mankini.
I will also be bringing this:
.

.
A Covid themed piñata, so we can all take our frustrations over the past year out on something other than our spouses.
.

.
Yes. To all of that. And I won’t be filling it with candy, no. In honor of the shit show that was 2020 I will fill it with these:
.

.
What are those you ask? Only the perfect gift to give your friends in case certain items become hard to find again.
.

.
Portable toilet paper! Am I a genius or what?
.
And to further get into the Christmas spirit? I’ve purchased this 2020 totally went down the drain themed tree.
.

.
I did not however purchase the accompanying ornaments.
.

.
Tree turd danglers?
No.
.

.
Definitely, no.

My wife’s name is Karen and so she disapproves of this post (she really hates the fact her name was appropriated for such nonsense). What’s even worse for me – my name is Kenneth – the long version of the shortened name Ken. ***although I don’t let it bother me ~ijs.
In fact; it never even bothered me that my first wife’s name is Barbara, yeah- as in Barbie.

but that being said: Those portawipes are great – I’ve had several paks in my ‘survival’ gear for a number of years now.

I just discovered them for this, but they do seem like a handy thing to have.
Ken and Barbie? Oh my.

It’s a spread for sure. We’re all just hoping she hasn’t bit off more than she can chew. It’s a lot of upkeep for a single working woman…

Portable toilet paper is something I never would have thought of but the more I think about it the smarter it seems, and filling a COVID-ñata with it is absolute genius. The perfect thing to avoid danglers at any time of year.

Those are great,But you really should have gotten the ornaments, I mean, you’ve gotta admit COVID is a S – – t Show! I must say, I am a bit nervous of what you got your friend as a gift, though.
