More Weird eBay Auction Fun

eBay is always a great place to shop for festive needs, and with the holiday season quickly upon us, it is time once again for more weird eBay auction fun.

Thanksgiving Fun

If you've been feeling as though your Thanksgiving Day festivities have been repetitive and lacking in inspriation, appear at the function dressed as a giant turkey. Nobody else will look quite as good, or quite as tasty.

Meanwhile, if tastiness has recently been a problem at your Thanksgiving Day meals, eBay can help. Order your prepared and ready-to-eat turkey online and have it delivered right to your door.

Christmas Fun

Of course with Thanksgiving almost upon us, Christmas is right around the corner. Don't be like everybody else with reindeer and Santa Claus figures in your yard. You're different. Show it by putting a giant Paul Bunyan and Christmas sarcastic Ox on display.

Christmas isn't just about reindeer and sarcastic Oxen, however—it's also about puppies and costumes, a fact that you can demonstrate by putting your dog in this doggie santa costume, complete with rear jinglebone.

Not everyone is an animal lover, however. Some people like airplanes. Lots and lots of airplanes. If this is you, snap up this great set of shiny airplane ball ornaments, each of which gives statistics about airliners on the reverse.

Those who are spiritually inclined need not make due with purely secular holiday favors. Keep the true meaning of Christmas alive with these, edible chocolate nativities on a stick. Taste the joy directly.

For the Truly Serious, of course, none of this is enough. Christmas isn't just about decorations or nativities. It's about Christmas trees. Not just one tree. Lots and lots of trees. Maybe an entire forest of trees. Sound like you? If so, here is your auction: take this opportunity to snap up an entire lot full of grown Christmas trees. Eight acres, 600 trees. Christmas nirvana, if you will.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
