On Saturdays throughout the month of December, I’ve been featuring various holiday scenes from around Albuquerque.
If I see a holiday decoration that makes me laugh – or a neighborhood full of them – I’ve been snapping photos and posting them here.
I’m hoping they make you laugh, too, because ‘Burque people are quirky.
Like the lady over at channel 4 who decorated the Christmas tree in the lobby with paper cutouts of the news anchors:
I couldn’t stop giggling when I saw this.
The news team is obviously much beloved!
The meteorologists, too!
I asked her what inspired the “ornaments.” She laughed and quipped, “Maybe next year they’ll give me a budget.”
Haha, funny lady!
I posted these photos on facebook last week and nooooooooobody liked them. Whaaaaat? What’s not to like about paper Christmas decoration cutouts of KOB’s news team?
Breaking news, that shit is funny.

The Stucker/Stiff collection is the source of endless jokes for adolescent boys across the city!
You make me laugh, Charlie!

I love your sense of humor! I did notice that one of the people is called Tom Joles. Long ago there was man by the same name who had an afterschool tv program for kids out of channel 7 in Buffalo NY called Commander Tom. Same guy? Who knows?

Tina, meteorologist and all-around good guy Jason Stiff says that the Buffalo guy was Tom Jolls. Close, but not the same fella as our Tom Joles.

I doubt it, Tina, but I’ll ask. I think our Tom Joles has been here for like 25 years.
