The wig apple
Today, Making Light links to a whole mess of weird Christmas ornaments. I have a question about this one:
It's true that "internally grateful" isn't entirely meaningless, but isn't it more likely that they meant this frizzy-haired apple creature to say "eternally grateful" instead?

That cutesy/country/sentimental/collectible stuff just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

By the way, some of them are Halloween and Valentine's Day ornaments. I think.
Actually, I think they all hail from forty years in the future of the alternate universe version of The Nightmare Before Christmas where Santa doesn't entirely regain control, and instead establishes a co-dominium with Jack's Halloween continuum. This is their fusion holiday art.
