Mexican Christmas Gloves

As you saw in my previous post, we’ve had a mighty cold snap here. I needed to find a pair of gloves. Any of you who have children will know that they lose a lot of gloves. So when I went on the Great Glove Hunt I found one infant mitten and one black glove with no thumb.

So I had to buy a new pair.

The ones I got have these little rubber appliques on one side, which are supposed to make them “non-slip”. The little rubber dots do help grip the steering wheel, but they feel really creepy.

So I show the gloves to Husband, and tell him that the tiny knobs on them feel weird. Without missing a beat (clever devil that he is) he says, “They’re your Mexican Christmas gloves.”

I give him the blank, blonde stare.

Then he said (and I totally fell over laughing) “Yeah, Feliz Knobby Dots”.

I hope all of you had a joyous Christmas! Sending you best wishes for a fabulous New Year!

    Ouch! :D But how clever of the man — I do so envy those who are quick-thinking enough to pull off an off-the-cuff pun. I live with one of those, myself, and can only shake my head in wonder…
