Molly had a list of toys she wanted for Christmas that included plush animal toys, Buddhist toys like an OM ball and others from Bodhi dog toys, a store in Los Angeles and another ethnic group of toys, Chewish toys for Jewish dogs. Although she is from Ireland and was raised an Irish Catholic, she has converted to Buddhism and enjoys Mikey's toys that reflect his devotion to Buddha. Molly met many Jewish dogs in camp who had brought their Jewish toys from a company called Chewish dog toys and wanted the bagel and cream cheese, the gefilte fish that has a squeaker that says OY VEY and a Kosher bone that she gave to Mikey as a Christmas gift. There are several other toys in the Chewish catalogue including Tuchas who is a donkey and in Yiddish means Ass which is appropriate since this word is another way of naming a donkey. Goniff is a thief and the list goes on. The party on Christmas Eve was wild and Lillian and La Senora Belladonna had a food fight. This photograph shows Lillian with a bagel and cream cheese hung on her pointy chin both full view and profile. Lillian retaliated with the Gefilte Fish by continually pressing the squeaker that drove La Senora crazy since the toy would not stop screaming OY VEY, OY VEY!! when Molly was told to play only with her new Gefilte Fish. What a riot!! I never imagined a Christmas like this, but everyone had a great time watching the witch and the gypsy play with Molly's toys. I have not put the collection of weenie babies into my private gallery and doubt that anyone could find such adorable plush toys offensive, but I thought I would respect those who do not find prank and gag toys as funny as we do.
