stay-puft for the holidays



These little holiday Pillsbury Doughboys have been a seasonal fixture in my kitchen for many years. Ever since I was persuaded by my then very young children to bring them home from the neighbourhood grocery store. One "free" with each package of frozen Christmas cookie dough.

And I must confess to liking them. So cute. So cheerful. So cuddly. And yet . . . I can never look at them without being reminded of this guy.




Obviously a distant relation.

As soon as I say the title for this post that is exactly what I thought! :D

Is there something wrong with us? :D

Cheers!

Lol - I always thought the dough-boy was a little cute and creepy myself!

There is something vaguely creepy about Pillsbury Doughboys. I don't know why exactly.

We also love the Dough Boy in our house, and I put my little stuffed one out on top of the fridge every Christmas! Great post :)

LOL...they do!

But they are cute. And you can't beat the lack of a price tag on them. ;)
