This is called Dachshund Pretzel Holder, but it sure looks more like a pig to me. It's actully kinda cute.

These are great!
I just blogged my Gum Elves. :}
I think no matter how down and out somebody was, they wouldn't be able to bring themselves to put a hair curler "ornament" on their tree. But, I would have thought the same thing about chewing gum. Though Liz's are awfully cute!
I need to send you a picture of my stocking from 1970. It's felt with elves... it's right at home with all this Christmas kitsch.
