Guns Don’t Kill People, Santa Kills People

My first impression of this ornament was that Santa had some binoculars. Oh, ok, so he’s a bird watcher.

Then I noticed the Brawny man shirt and the gold lamé, leopard print vest. Okaaay. And solid gold tie. Weird.

And then I noticed the sawed-off shotgun.

I get it. He’s Big Game Hunter Santa. And I see now that his vest is just poorly-rendered camouflage, but that doesn’t explain the gold lamé unless there are a lot of elk in P-Town nowadays. And how do the reindeer feel about Santa’s little hobby?

And since when does Santa carry a gun?

Um, since for a while now, apparently.

Thanks be to Mrs. Elfenstein for hot-gluing Santa’s trigger arm back on (life in the ornament bin is fraught with danger)!
