Wisecrackin’ Gingerbread Boy
Too quiet in the kitchen? Put this fun-loving guy on your counter or table, or in a cabinet-and wait to hear his case for more consumption of Christmas carrots and candy canes (gingerbread-boy-eating? not so much).
Full of surprises, this gingerbread boy is ready with plenty of wisecracks (and a little singing) when you walk by or open the cabinet door (anytime motion is detected).
Says phrases such as:
You know what’s really good to eat instead of me?
Carrots!; Mmmm-hmmmm…delicious Christmas carrots!
Why couldn’t I have been born a fruitcake?
Nobody ever wants to eat THEM!
You know…I think I saw a snickerdoodle around here somewhere.
Here doodle-doodle…here, doodle!
(Song lyrics – sung to the tune of “Deck the Halls”)
If you’re craving something sweet
Help yourself but don’t eat me
Candy canes are my suggestion
I could give you indigestion.
