It’s the day after Christmas and all through the house…ah nevermind. I’m too tired to rhyme.

Anyways, who out there is rocking some sweet toys today? Any video game systems? GPS, cameras, computers, phones? Anyone? Let us know what you got.

Someone always has to try and take something that’s popular and outdo it. Obviously, someone’s been watching too much Sliding Cat.

Some dude on Flickr got really creative and turned a bunch of old beer cans and liquor bottles into Christmas ornaments. They won him a contest at his office too. Check the rest out below, along with some awesome explanations. (more…)

Last year, Steve wrote a very nice guide with tips on what you could get your family and friends for the Holidays. It was a little late at the time but it still applies, so we figured we’d remind you all nice and early this year. So if you find yourself stumped, go check it out.

The last time I fully cleaned out my car was during my Christmas break in 2006. Of course that meant that this year I had to do the same since I actually have time off. It was partially frightening and partially enlightening (since I got my iPod hooked up with all the cables neatly hidden away).

Anyways, this is just a friendly reminder to take this holiday break and do some productive things besides gain weight. If you had to work this week after Christmas, what’s wrong with you? Call in sick next time.

Now that the mayhem has subsided for another 11 months, it’s time to sit back, relax, get fat on leftovers and play with new toys. I got a pretty sweet Canon Digital SLR camera with a case and memory card, a bunch of HD DVDs, a couple of video games, some clothes, etc. I’m curious though, what did everyone else get? More importantly, what are you returning? Any Christmas horror stories to share? Let us know in the comments.

P.S. – It’s a good thing Christmas is over. I was running out of pictures of hot girls with Santa hats on..

So obviously it’s just about Christmas time. For those of you who don’t celebrate Christmas, it’s kind of like a birthday but not quite as cool because you have to give presents too. As such, we’ll probably be a little out of touch until the mayhem settles down. Fear not though, dear reader. We’ll keep you updated with all the awesome crap we receive as gifts, and if we’re lucky, we might get some stuff worth reviewing.

Merry Christmas…or whatever you celebrate…from us here at Average Dudes.

It’s the holiday season. The time to give and be thankful, but what about those needy children in other parts of world. Watch this video and try to tell me it didn’t melt your heart.

Just in case you work at the Santa station at the mall, here are a few handy tips to make it through the holidays!

1. Get at least eight hours of sleep before coming to work.
2. If you really must nap, try to do so in a “staff only” section of the mall.
3. Please don’t sleep on Santa’s couch if you can’t find a secluded area.
4. On the off chance that you decide to sleep on Santa’s couch, please make sure your thong isn’t visible.
5. At least, make sure people don’t have a clear shot of your ass with their camera phones.
6. Finally, please don’t sully the innocence of youth any more than you just did.

I used to love getting my picture taken with Santa Claus. I’ve got a photo album somewhere of me as a little kid sitting in his lap, year after year. This is kind of weird though. What if stuff like this was happening when I was a kid? I never really realized how close my youth and innocence was to some ugly chick’s half-bare ass. This is kind of like remembering a time that you ate a snow cone, only to start wondering if someone might have peed in it before you ate it.

First and foremost, Merry Chrismahaunakwanza to all of our readers! That’s right, just to our readers. Everybody else can go f@&# themselves.

It’s common knowledge that the Average Dude never goes shopping until about three days before Christmas. While that’s ample time to shop, it may not be enough time to come up with the right gift ideas. Don’t have any ideas what to buy? That’s why we’re presenting you with this handy guide to help a brother out! It might be the thought that counts, but it’s the gift that’s kept. (more…)
