A “must” for Latter Day Saints
Posted on May 30th, 2009 by Kathleen (Religion)

Apparently, the Danbury Mint Company is in bed with “The Church”. Strange bedfellows until you find out that Danbury is offering a limted edition christmas ornament of the Salt Lake Temple. The ornament certainly won’t win any design awards – not tastefully done at all.

poa-ornamentIt seems that more annual ornaments are to come but fail to say what the focus will be. I hope it’s not the San Diego Temple, that always reminds me of something in Disneyland. My friends saw it for the first time and when I asked, “Well what do you think of it” he thought for a moment and repled, ” It needs to be backed into a cul-de-sac with a crucifix!” I mean, how hard is it to find a good architect?

The brochure I received described the ornament with such a flourish. I was particularly interested to know the magical powers that accompanied the thing. I quote… “Peace on Earth can be yours for just $21.95 ( plus $3.95 shipping and service)” Get Out! Do you know how many peace organizations are going to be thrilled to hear this! It also comes, free of charge, a beautiful gift box, so you can buy several and mail to your friends! Imagine, being able to mail, peace on earth to your friends?

I’ve already started my list. Palestine is getting one, Israel, Pakistan, The Sudan, Oh, the list goes on. I need to send several to the GOP. Isn’t this wonderful news?

Wait: Should the Muslims ornament have a mosque instead of a temple? Better have a menorah or star of David for the jews. And the GOP, no question, they have to have a Gun and tiny Abu Graibe figures. ( I can never spell that right!)

Anyway, if you had to design an ornament for 2009 what would it be?

I’m not sure why the mint company didn’t go out on there own. We sell mints that seem to be changing everything. We just got the enlightenmints. They’ve been out in IA, ME, VT,and MA for a while. We’ll do our best here. We also sell intitlemints that we bought from a company in Utah. We’re not trying to promote them so much. Some don’t work, like the mints we sold during the Bush regime called impeechmints. We have mints that are just a statement like; Sarah Palin embarassmints. You can see how candy can be almost as as powerful as an ornament. How about an ornamint.

lol. An ornamint is hilarious, and I love the Sarh Palin mint. Have you seen the “No Man Knows My Pastries” cookbook? The sacred not sectret recipes of Sister Enid Green. It came out around 1992. It included a recipe for Endowmints.

that book was writen by one of Joes good friends. I never liked him much. But I loved the cheeses of nazareth. When I lived in san fransico I had a friend that was from ogden who called me sister christiansen from the orem north forty fourth ward. We laughed about the recipes from this book and nobody we knew understood why.

This ornament is hidious…. but many will buy it. I want to know why only the mormons get a “peace” ornament.

My favorite section of “No Man Knows My Pastries” is the jello matrix….

Steve bought me that book the day after Annie died. It was a great diversion to check out the jello matrix and find out that one of the salads we received was only appropriate for a Samoan wedding!

LOL… that is quite tacky.

My christmas ornament would be a manger scene. It would include sheep, a donkey and the three wisemen riding in on dinosaurs. It would appeal to loads of the nut jobs who think that man and dino’s shared the earth.

Ugh! That is really, truly unattractive. Couldn’t they make peace on earth more desirable? I always thought it would be a good thing, but after seeing this, I am starting to wonder.


Michelle on June 16th, 2009 at 1:32 pm

I believe our beloved Sarah Palin was quoted saying something about man and dinos sharing the earth. I wish she would go away.

LOL to endowmints… Isn’t the Jello-belt considered to be Idaho-Utah-Arizona?
