It’s Christmas morning and I’m on the road again, but before the battery dies on my laptop I wanted to wish you all a wonderful Holiday and tell you how much you mean to me. My life would suck without you.
And in celebration of your awesomeness (and of the horror and beauty of the holidays) I’m sharing one version of the special-edition James Garfield cards with you all. And yeah, there were several versions because James Garfield is too bad-ass to be confined to just one card.
I love you guys. Tomorrow it’s back to non-mushy, highly offensive stuff. Probably about the Pope. You’ve been warned.
(Front of the card.)
(Inside of the card.)
May your ChrisKwanzaKaRfield be filled with laughter and whatever fetish makes you happiest. Unless it’s a really gross one.
Okay, fine. The gross ones too. It is Christmas, after all.
Comment of the day: I love that I totally understood the Mullet Tov. We Jews, we’re an intuitive bunch. ~JewishCanuck

His smile pleases me. Is it too late to order one of these cards and will you be offering a Valentine’s edition? In my dreams James Garfield is multi-seasonal.

Merry Christmas Jenny to you and your family [yes, even Victor]. Thank you for brightening our days [and nights...especially when you've been watching "Glee"!]. I hope Santa brought you a supremely awesome confidence wig. Happy alcoholidays!
Get hammered for Jesus because he got nailed for you.
If this is your Christmas card I can hardly wait to see your Valentine! Fantabulous!
I swear James Garfield looks so freaking happy to be with you guys. I’ve never seen the head of a dead animal look more content.

Thanks for the laughter, Jenny. So glad I found your blog this year. Merry, merry to you.
I received a James Garfield Christmas card from my daughter and I couldn’t be happier.
Mullets make every holiday better.
Enjoy the day with James Garfield

1) Let me say that James Garfield looks chock full o’ confidence with that wig.
2) I’ll be your Jewish friend, and would be happy to provide you with proper tidings to your Jewish minions (See below).
Shanah Tovah! (Which is Happy New Year in Hebrew, and is technically celebrated during the holiday Rosh Hashanah in the Fall, but since most Jews also celebrate the World’s new year, completely acceptable right now. Mazel Tov means good luck, which during this time of year could mean “Good luck not celebrating Christmas, Jews, since your Hanukkah holiday already passed.” Mullet tov, would be “Good mullet”, but I don’t know if all Jews would agree with that sentiment. See how good it would be to have me as a Jewish friend?)

I think you need better reviewers….I got it right away. Although, molotov did cross my mind, mazel tov fit better in this situation. And I will take fully automatic grenade launchers over molotov cocktails anyday, thank you.
I love that I totally understood the Mullet Tov, we Jews, we’re an intuitive bunch.
LOVE my card! It is the coolest one on the fireplace mantle!

Thanks to you and James Garfield for making a really good, uh that holiday you said, even better.
This post WAS kind of highly offensive. And on Christmas, too, Wal Mart’s most sacred day of the year. It’s why I love you.
I’m stuck at work today so it was great to see a new blog from you. Happy ChrisKwanzaKaRfield to you and the fam.
Am I the only one that thought Mullet Tov was a tonge in cheek hair style reference thing?
Happy Holidays everyone!!!
Is it just me, or does James’ smile look wider?
Merry Christmas Jenny!
Merry Christmas.
Ed Adams´s last blog ..I WON!
so funny, i read one of the comments as my “wife” would suck without you. and i thought it was really sweet (or hateful) that the husband of someone else would be so appreciative. then, after re-reading, i see that it actually said, my “life” would suck without you. i guess that is pretty sweet too.
magda´s last blog ..Bah Hum Bug
A VERY Merry ChrisKwanzaKah to you and yours too!!
My James Garfield card is displayed prominently with the rest of our Christmas cards. The strange thing is that my husband has yet to make mention of it, which means that he’s either a) highly unobservant or b) my friends are so weird that it doesn’t phase him.
Merry Christmas!
Um, i got BAKING trays for Christmas (my mother)
a cookbook (my step-grandmother-in-law)
CUPCAKE notecards (grandmother-in-law)
and a horrifically fringed brown pleather shoulder bag.

First laugh I’ve had since my daughter finished opening her presents and the holiday family time commenced. Thank you for bringing the Christmas (because I’m too f’ing lazy to type that whole line of bs) spirit back to my life!
I completely saw Mullet Tov as a play on Mazel Tov. Maybe you just need smarter friends.
a´s last blog ..Turns out, I’m not as good at complaining as I thought I was
You totally need to lease that card to Hallmark or something- that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. J.G. just looks awesome, and so very happy!
thanks for making me smile all those times i didn’t think i had it in me.
totally jealous of your james garfield. so much so, that i tried to get the boyfriend to bring his mounted wild boar into the house from his workshop and hang it above my desk in the office.
*that* is how much i adore you.
happy season to you and yours:)

andrea´s last blog ..so the amount of sleepy time i get is directly connected to my irritability level and with three hours of snooze last night you probably shouldn’t fuck with me today.
Molotov cocktails…..

Anyway, Merry *insert Holiday of choice here* to you as well. I hope it is/was full of joy and craziness and plenty of James Garfield.
Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO!

It’s probably not so much that you need more Jewish friends and more that you need less alcoholic friends. Wait, what am I saying? One can never have too many alcoholic friends. Trust me, I’ve tried.
You have made me laugh so much this past year! Thank you so much for your humor and fresh take on life. I’m so glad to have discovered your blog. Happy ChrisKwanzaKaRfield to you, too!
Jane´s last blog ..Group Hug Through the Bloggysphere
i didn’t get my card, which is why you didn’t get a handmade godzilla pillow like my boyfriend did. instead you should watch “rubin and ed” (oh shit man, it rhymes, so you HAVE to) because i think you will love it AND i met my boyfriend at it’s premier… when i was 12… and he was 39. we weren’t dating then. sheesh.
ineedatrustfund´s last blog ..’tis the season
I had the BEST idea for a Christmas card.
My boys holding Santa hostage with their nerf guns…and on the inside of the card, a ransom note saying Merry Christmas and how to get Santa back…in those cut out hostage note-style letters.
Your James Garfield card is the coolest I’ve seen in a while. Awesome.
Thanks for sharing!

A Vapid Blonde´s last blog ..HO HO HO…Secret Santa Can Suck It!
That card made total sense to me. Molotov cocktails are totally appropriate for the holidays…depending on where you live and your political affiliations. Naturally.
You know I saw the Pope last year at Yankee Stadium. He blessed me with drops of the holy water and it burned…

Merry cristmakwanzakarfield to you. I think James Garfield is the luckiest disembodied pig head ever. Certainly the most famous. I hope he doesn’t get all douchey or hooked on the smack or whatever the other hip disembodied animal heads are into these days. I feel the story of James Garfield has really just begun.
MayoPie´s last blog ..Love me, love my butthole
I LOVE James Garfield’s picture for the card. He is the personification of the Holiday Season… Joy, Love and Weight Gain … Oh, and the mullett is absolutely the best look for him!
Enjoy your travels, or is it travails?

Marianne´s last blog ..Screw You… I Mean… Merry Christmas Momma
You know for years I thought they were called Mazel Tov cocktails until I got a really odd and confused look from someone and I thought the other person was going to piss themselves laughing at me and not with me. It really cleared things up for me though as I was under the impression that there were people throwing these things and yelling Mazel Tov.
F to the Y I: “Mazel tov” is Yiddish, as opposed to “Jewish.” Calling a phrase “Jewish” is like saying “Kyrie, eleison; Christe, eleison; Kyrie, eleison” is “Catholic” or “Eastern Orthodox” instead of Greek. SeewhatImean?
Not to be a know-it-all asshole. Just sayin’.

You need to brush James Garfields teeth. Or so it would seem from this card.
I totally love his new ‘do’ though.
Happy holidays!
Maybe you just need more friends that aren’t… Well…. DUMB!
How obvious was the Mullet tov joke? I mean, come ON!
Merry Christmas and stuff!
Kevin´s last blog ..I Just Haven’t Met You Yet
I totally got it… then again, I was one of the only nine percent Catholic/Christian people in a town of 91% Jewish when I was growing up… and yes, Catholic & Christian had to be lumped together to form the other 9%. No, there were no buhdists or muslims or any other religions. I was from a very sheltered middle upper class upbringing in what my Texan husband refers to as “Yankee-land” Come to think of it, we were considered not only one of the goyim families (non Jews) but one of the poor families (also non Jews). You know, with that kind of upbringing it’s a fucking miracle I could tie my own shoes without servants and now I understand why I’ve been disowned for winding up in the poor country life of southeast Texas. Guess I’m lucky guns are illegal as hell up there.

Holy f*ck I’m the comment of the day. I’m famoooooooos!
I wonder what it says about me that I totally understood Mullet Tov but I am not Jewish? Maybe I have too many Jewish friends? Wow, that sounded rude. I meant maybe I have a lot, but never enough, Jewish friends.
