I mean, really John Lewis? What were your designers thinking?!

People spend more than that on wine per week. A dinosaur is for life, not just Christmas.

I have one of those, plus his blue brontosaurus friend 😀

John Lewis also do a glass octopus tree ornament, but it's fatally flawed...

SoupDragon · 26/10/2021 13:26

I think, technically, they do a Sextopus.

We have some neighbours that have a Santa thing that attaches to the outside wall. Once, DP mentioned to me that it looks like Santa bending over and pulling his arse cheeks apart... For the last 7 years that is all I can see.
Every Christmas we go for a walk to look at 'Santa's Gaping Arsehole".

Of course he was £12. He has a butt hole. Money well spent opGrin

I love JL's bizarre baubles. I get one every year. Off to peruse this year's offerings!

Dinosaurs are definitely festive. We have one in a Santa hat for the top of our tree Grin

One Christmas lobster later ...

GlamorousHeifer · 26/10/2021 19:34

Whilst I personally wouldn't have a dinosaur bauble on my (very traditional) Christmas tree I don't think ripping the OP a new arsehole for ger choice of decorations is necessary (see what I did thereWink)

I know 🙁 I've emailed them with a photo in the hope they'll send me a replacement and not to bother sending back the broken one.

That wouldn't even make it through Christmas in my house. Sad
groundcontroltomontydon · 26/10/2021 20:07

a dinosaur butt hole wouldn't be that big, surely
They died out because their tiny brains kept falling out of their massive arseholes

@SoupDragon

We need to see his/ her front too.

Saisong · 26/10/2021 22:33

Can I object to the fact it is identifying as a T-rex? Wouldn't get away with this shit in ASDA.

This has made me laugh, and I’m now going to buy one purely because it has a bum hole.

I know it’s half term, but I promise you I am actually an adult.

BarbaraofSeville · 26/10/2021 22:57

Same here. Although I did see something on FB earlier today that might protect the Christmas tree baubles from the particular threat in this house...

Surprised no paleontologists have already commented tbh, the tyrannosaurus couldn't reach to wipe their arses and got horribly disfigured bumholes.

I think he’s lovely even with a disproportionately large anus.
