The first time I saw this retro Santa, I walked away from him. I'm not sure why I did because he's kind of cute (in a 1960s boozy Santa way). But I know that right after I did, something bad happened.
I lost my cell phone, which prompted a search that lasted several hours as I retraced my stops at several sales. And later, something even worse happened. Some twit downloaded $60 worth of games on it, which I discovered when I received my phone bill a few weeks later. The first game, by the way, was downloaded about 20 minutes after I saw the Santa bowl.
So, when I saw this bowl at the thrift store the other day, I knew that I couldn't walk away away twice, especially because it was just 29 cents. So I brought Santa and all his boozy friends home. And, yes, I checked. I still have my cell phone.
So did you get your cell phone back or is this now a replacement???? Inquiring minds want to know.......

I hope Santa brought that little jerk a nice big piece of COAL in his stocking!

Mr. cell phone thief now has bad Santa karma and will probably never EVER get any gifts from him again.

No, I didn't get the phone back. Had to buy a new one.
