Check out some X-mas themed posts from previous years and enjoy the holidays!

I don’t suppose this skateboarder cookie cutter is limited to Christmas, but it looks like a gingerbread style cutter, and that’s what I associate gingerbread with. The embossed text says “© 1989 Lk Mfg Corp Product No 8876” I’m thinking they decided to add a skateboarder to their product line and used some late 70’s or very early 80’s photo as a reference.

Yes, a retread of last lear’s video, but let’s not take that as foreshadowing this year’s content. Lots of exciting things planned for 2013, this time I mean it! Thank you for reading Skate and Annoy! http://youtu.be/WRNhx6nC4GM

Taking the Holidays off. Happy Festivus, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, etc… to you and yours! If you’re hurting for holiday content, check out these past posts filed under Christmas and Holidays.

Powell’s got three Christmas themed items on sale for the holidays, not one, but two different Vato Rat skateboards and new this year, Ripper ornament. That ornament is only 6 bucks. I’m getting one.

I should have done this at least a week ago. If you’re looking for something to give to a friend or loved-one that skates ( and don’t care if it can’t make it in time for x-mas…) here’s a few ideas: H.O.M.O.S. books fromAntigravity Press. All your favorite Hopless Old Men On Skateboards as drawn and written by MC, plus extras that weren’t published on the web, and more. Doc Skaterock’s Vintage Skate Rock – The history of skatesploitation in vinyl. The definitive guide to skateboard-themed music before the modern term Skaterock was coined. Toy Boarders plastic skateboard figures. Fun for all ages, hardcore and posers alike. Maple XO – Jewelry and more, made from recycled skateboards. Better If You Don’t Come Back, a short, skateboard centric fiction book by Joseph DeMough, published by Fat Thumb Publishing. And of course, anything from one of our fine sponsors: Merde Skateboards Unheard Distribution Rip City Skates Weirdo Skateboards Diesel Fuel Prints Cold War Skateboards

I have to hand it to my mother in-law, she’s really gotten better with her gifts for the most part. She’s gotten past the part of just getting anything skateboard related, and she’s really thoughtful about it. Still, I totally cracked up when I go this in the mail from her for Christmas. Not only do I already have Disposable, but it happens to be the second edition which has a quote by me on the inside dust jacket! I got an extra giggle because my mother in-law is an author herself. All in all it brought me unexpected joy, which is the purpose of giving a gift in the first place. Sidenote: I just realized the type alternates colors on different editions of the book.
